Le Cordon Bleu, the leading global network of culinary arts and hospitality management institutes, is also a network of professionals, educators and alumni. On Hosco, Le Cordon Bleu is gathering international alumni to enable them to connect with their peers and institute throughout their career, but also network and make their way towards professional opportunities.
With a global presence in more than 20 countries and training over 20,000 international students per year, maintaining a solid network once students graduate is an important part of Le Cordon Bleu’s mission.
Hosco is the leading global network dedicated to Careers in the hospitality industry. They provide a portal for candidates to find hospitality jobs, and hospitality companies that need talent. This serves as an ideal structure for Le Cordon Bleu alumni to find each other, by joining Hosco and becoming a member of the local chapter of the Commanderie des Cordons Bleus, which encompasses the international Alumni network. Thanks to this partnership, the Le Cordon Bleu community has grown significantly, now reaching over 11,000 alumni on Hosco, making it the largest alumni community on the platform with access to a dedicated Career Center.
Since the beginning of this partnership, 31,000 applications have been submitted to Le Cordon Bleu alumni network through Hosco —27,000 for full-time positions and 4,000 for internships. These numbers reflect the strong engagement of Le Cordon Bleu alumni within the hospitality industry and the added value of connecting through Hosco.
“As an alumnus, it’s really good to know you have these great connections all over the world, it’s a massive community.
