How the French are enhancing Singapore’s renown as the world’s finest hospitality City!

Many may wonder why almost fifty Singaporeans this year have gone abroad to study at Le Cordon Bleu when there are some well established hospitality and culinary schools in Singapore. Many have found that the international exposure to world class chefs, training under a strict multicultural environment where students and cuisines are from all over the world, and studying in some of the world’s hospitality hotspots gains them the edge when they return to Singapore.

In the past few years, many Le Cordon Bleu graduates have returned from the French icon’s schools abroad and established many new restaurants or hospitality businesses in Singapore, or have been employed by other hospitality icons. Some Singaporean graduates are also  working on lucrative contracts in Dubai, Australia, the United States and China. Most of the Singaporean graduates have studied at the Le Cordon Bleu campuses in London, Sydney, Paris, Adelaide and Ottawa, with some starting to go to their newest campus in Bangkok.
