Careers Residential inspires hospitality dreams
In October, an excited group of high school students enjoyed a 3-day Careers Residential at Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide. On Day 1, alumni Leonardo Loureiro (ex-Head Chef, Adelaide Entertainment Centre) delighted them with a cooking demonstration and a delicious lunch. Their introductory lecture was on Food & Beverage, followed by an opportunity to discuss study and career aspirations with our Industry Engagement Team.
On Day 2, the group had an amazing feed at alumni-owned restaurant Plus 82 Pocha and heard Entrepreneur Steven Lee’s inspiring career story. The afternoon was spent at Mayfair Hotel learning how to create mocktails and discovering the secrets of hotel back-of-house.
The final day saw our guests in the commercial kitchens at Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide with Chef/Lecturers Simon Taylor and Jenni Key in cuisine and patisserie workshops. Later, they learned the art of setting up for a hospitality event. Their Career Residential event ended on a high note with an Award Ceremony where they received an LCBA parchment, watched by proud parents and staff.
