Professional Industry Placement

Work Placement Program

“Le Cordon Bleu students are the future of our industry & are consistently high quality candidates. We attribute this to the education they receive & the core values they are instilled with at Le Cordon Bleu.” Cathy Sinden - Human Resources Manager - Four Points by Sheraton

Studying in Le Cordon Bleu programs in Adelaide, you will have the opportunity to undertake work experience as part of your qualification. Le Cordon Bleu partners with hospitality organisations across Australia and, in some cases overseas. The work placement program is completed over six months, during which you work in world class hotels, resorts, kitchens, restaurants and convention centres. You will undertake either 'Industry Placement' (Cuisine & Pâtisserie), ‘Professional Experience' (Bachelors) or 'Hospitality Industry Experience' (Master's).

Work placement provides a broad exposure to the hospitality industry, often allowing you to work in positions within the Food & Beverage/ Kitchens and/or Rooms Division departments. The work placement program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge acquired at Le Cordon Bleu within a working environment, further developing your understanding of the hospitality industry. We hope that you become aware of the exciting opportunities the hospitality industry has to offer as well as the many challenges faced by the industry throughout the world. It also gives you the opportunity to travel to a destination that you may never experience again while enjoying a different lifestyle for six months. This exciting and challenging process is facilitated by the Professional Industry Placement department. Opportunities are vast - from far North Queensland where the majestic Great Barrier Reef draws tourists from across the globe - to regional Australian destinations such as Uluru and Broome - to cosmopolitan city centres such as Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

Our Professional Industry Placement Department works with each student individually to ensure you get the most out of your work placement program and we help our students to secure suitable positions.

During the work placement program you have the opportunity to start building your reputation in the industry, create contacts, build networks, learn where your strengths lie and start making decisions about the career path you wish to take. International work placement opportunities are also possible in Dubai, Canada, China, London, Singapore, Thailand, USA and Scotland among others. It is your responsibility to obtain the necessary visa, if required.
