Welcome Parents – Culinary Education for High School Grads
Industry-Focused Training to a Bachelor’s Degree
It’s natural for parents to want their sons and daughters to be happy and successful in life. Le Cordon Bleu provides culinary education that is an inclusive, collaborative community where students are encouraged to explore their untapped talent and turn their creative potential into marketable skills. The confidence our students can develop here helps get them ready to work in the culinary world.
Some kids aren’t cut out for traditional school, and that’s okay. At an industry-focused school like Le Cordon Bleu they can focus solely on acquiring the skills and experience for the culinary, pastry and hospitality industry.
But if you’re set on your child getting a college degree, Le Cordon Bleu can give you both what you’re looking for. Our culinary education programs offer Certificate, Associate and Bachelor’s degrees, making it possible for students to get the culinary training they want and continue down the educational pathway all the way to a Bachelor’s.
Their culinary journey starts with hands-on training in cooking or baking and pastry. When they complete their training and industry externships, they have several options. They can go out and start working in the industry. Or they can start their career and continue on for an advanced degree. They can also continue at Le Cordon Bleu and get a Bachelor’s online before starting their career – the same as at traditional colleges.
Le Cordon Bleu is the Leader in Culinary Education
As the number one culinary school* in the country, we’ve provided the path for nearly 80,000 graduates to get their start. The restaurant industry offers exciting career options – with 1.3 million culinary jobs expected over the next decade**
