The Auburn Career Center and Lakeland Community College have joined forces to create The Northeast Ohio Culinary Institute (NOCI)

Lakeland Community College and the Auburn Career Center now offer the Northeast Ohio Culinary Institute (NOCI), offering a two-year program in culinary arts.

Led by Chef Bob Lubecky, students learn the culinary secrets of the trade ranging from creating the perfect radish rose to baking a delicate pastry plus they'll get to participate in classical cuisine and food show competition. Students will also learn the business side of culinary arts such as food purchasing, sanitation and equipment.

The food service industry's needs for educated and skilled workers will continue to grow nationally during the rest of this decade. The employment outlook for Lake County and the State of Ohio forecasts a continuing rate of growth. Restaurant manager, baker, pastry chef, food production worker, caterer, line cook and chef are positions that are representative of employment opportunities in the industry.

NOCI is operated by the Adult Education Department of Auburn Career Center in collaboration with Lakeland Community College. Culinary arts core courses are provided by NOCI at Auburn Career Center while general education, basic technical and elective courses are provided by Lakeland Community College on the Kirtland, Madison or Wickliffe campuses.

The Institute offers a two-year program in Culinary Arts. Students who complete the program will receive the NOCI certificate and will be awarded 30 semester credit hours which can be applied toward an Associate of Technical Studies (ATS) Degree in Culinary Arts at Lakeland. Students will complete a minimum of 35 additional credit hours in prescribed general education and related core courses at Lakeland to earn their associate's degree.

Chef Bob Lubecky graduated from the culinary arts program at Auburn, then continued his studies at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY where he earned a bachelor's degree of professional studies in culinary arts management. He also studied at Le Cordon Bleu in London. Before joining NOCI, Lubecky was the Executive Sous Chef at The Country Club in Pepper Pike.

Lubecky says, "I want to set a high level of standards for the students. NOCI will be noted as one of the finest culinary institutes. We will be distinguished by the levels of academics and hands on experience and by our high level of professionalism."

Doug Daugherty, Adult Education Director at Auburn Career Center, says there is a need for a post-secondary culinary arts program in Lake County. "We've already established a successful program at Auburn so it seems like a natural fit to take it to the next level."

Culinary Arts Core courses are delivered by Auburn at ACC and the tuition, fees, and payment and refund schedules are determined by ACC. General education, basic, and elective course requirements are delivered by Lakeland Community College. Tuition, fees, payment and refund schedules are set by the college.
