TRAINING FACILITY

Responsibilities include: sanitizing the dining area, washing dishes, running the commercial dishwasher, sweeping, mopping and providing all other janitorial services. In addition, participants package desserts and salads, work on the serving line, and stock shelves.

NEW ENDEAVOR

On June 1st, 2009, TARC began creating new job opportunities in the cafeteria at Weatherford International in Houma.  Along with Weatherford,  TARC’s “BON APPETIT CAFETERIA” and Supported Employment division “CREATIVE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES" teamed up to cook and serve plate lunches to the staff at Weatherford.  During the lunch rush, BON APPETIT's staff prepares approximately 50 lunches that include hamburgers, sandwiches, and salads.  In addition, TARC’s LE BON TEMPS BAKERY provides cakes and tea cakes daily for dessert.  As the number of plate lunches increase, TARC hopes to be integrated fully into Weatherford’s cafeteria.
