Professional Industry Placement

Work Experience Program

In most programs (Adelaide and Sydney) students undertake work experience, as part of their qualification, with Le Cordon Bleu partner hospitality organisations across Australia and, in some cases overseas. The work placement program is completed over six months. Students work in world class hotels, resorts, kitchens, restaurants and convention centres. In Sydney students undertake Industry Placement.

Le Cordon Bleu Work Placement

Work placement gives students a broad exposure to the hospitality industry, often allowing them to work in positions within the Food & Beverage/ Kitchens and/or Rooms Division departments. The work placement program allows students to apply the skills and knowledge acquired at Le Cordon Bleu within a working environment, further developing their understanding of the hospitality industry. It is hoped that students will 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 students the opportunity to travel to a destination that they may never experience again and enjoy 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. The Professional Industry Placement Department works with each student individually to ensure they get the most out of their work placement program and assist students to secure suitable positions.

During the work placement program students have the opportunity to start building their reputation in the industry, create contacts and build their networks, learn where their strengths lie and start making decisions about the career path they wish to take.

International work placement opportunities are also possible in Dubai, Canada, China, London, Singapore, Thailand, USA and Scotland among others. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the necessary visa, if required.

We are proud to play a role in the career development and building the capabilities of the hospitality industry's future leaders.
