About Us

Le Cordon Bleu combines innovation and creativity with tradition through certificates, diplomas, and bachelor's and master's degrees, including an online degree in gastronomic tourism. Over the last century, Le Cordon Bleu has seen revolutionizing change as we have evolved from a Parisian cooking school to an international network of culinary arts and hospitality institutes. Our philosophy of achieving excellence through constant practice and refinement remains the same, even as we grow to meet the needs of the contemporary culinary and hospitality industries.

While our focus at Le Cordon Bleu is higher education, we have taken a particular interest in the public realm. We offer many fine restaurants and numerous bakeries and coffee shops under the Le Cordon Bleu trademark. In addition, we have expanded our activities to include various educational media such as culinary publications, instructional videos, TV series, cooking equipment, and more. Our privileged partnership and articulation agreements with various governments, universities, and culinary associations have allowed us to promote French Art de Vivre worldwide.

At Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa, we support our employees on their career paths and believe in promotion from within whenever possible. After recent growth and internal promotions, we are looking to external candidates to fill exciting new and additional roles. These positions will play a pivotal role in the continued growth of the business. Candidates will be responsible for working independently and collaboratively as part of a team. Team members will also be expected and encouraged to make contributions across departments and functions. If this sounds like an environment you can thrive in, we look forward to receiving your resume.
