About this listing
Merced County Office of Education has one culinary program on California's list, filed under culinary arts and related services (CIP 12.0500). Of the 12 students who left the program between July 2021 and June 2025, 75% completed it.
This provider does not appear in IPEDS, the FMCSA training registry or a state list we load, so the Department of Labor's file is the record shown here. Ask the provider and your American Job Center whether the program is still on the list before you enroll: the file lists programs as of June 30, 2025.

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, TrainingProviderResults.gov program file (ETA-9171): programs on state lists as of June 30, 2025; outcomes for all students who exited between July 2021 and June 2025, not only WIOA-funded ones. Median earnings are one quarter's pay in the second quarter after exit. Suppressed means DOL withheld the figure (a small group, nothing reported, or a data quality hold); for length it can also mean a competency-based program. Not matched to any other record: listed here as the state reported it.
