Husband and wife Danny and Sal Key, Culinary Arts majors at Tri-County Community College, worked together for years at the Stanley Furniture plant in Robbinsville. When it closed last year, putting more than 400 people out of work, the Keys not only lost their jobs, but also found they were unqualified for any other positions in the area. The pro-active approach from the enrollment management team at TCCC helped give them a direction, as well as hope for the future. “We love the Culinary Arts Program and Chef Greg,” said Sal Key. “We never would have been able to manage without the help we got from the college.” |
