At 7 years old, Jeremiah Johnson started cooking alongside his mother. Now, he’s turning that longtime passion into a career.

The 2026 Drayton High School graduate is beginning the Culinary Arts Program at North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS), with plans to become a fine-dining chef and eventually open his own restaurant.

Jeremiah has worked hard to build his skills, from attending culinary camps and competitions to working and fundraising to pay for opportunities.

North Dakota Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) has helped him take the next steps toward his goal. Through VR, Jeremiah worked on postsecondary planning, work readiness and self-advocacy and received support to attend a culinary camp at NDSCS.

Jeremiah compares pursuing a dream to building a Lego set: It takes putting the pieces together one step at a time.

“It just takes time and effort,” he said.

Read Jeremiah’s story and learn how VR helped him build a path toward the future he already knew he wanted.
