In an industry first, Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami
announced the launch of its culinary diploma program designed
exclusively for Spanish-speaking students. Solidifying a commitment
to the Hispanic community, LCB Miami launched a 30-week culinary
program identical to its program taught in English. The program
emphasizes the skills necessary to participate, communicate and
advance within the U.S. hospitality industry. �We are the first
location in the U.S. to offer Spanish-speaking students the
opportunity to learn Le Cordon Bleu�s world-renowned methods and
traditions while also learning English language skills that will
help those students be competitive in the industry,� said Le Cordon
Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami president Kelly Bozarth. �We
are excited to offer this opportunity to prepare students for the
dynamic field of culinary arts.� Every culinary course is taught
fully in Spanish. In addition, English-language classes offering
basic interpersonal and conversational skills are included in the
curriculum to prepare students to compete in the U.S. job market.
�Our goal is to provide Spanish speaking students with the same
exceptional educational quality we offer English speaking
students,� said Bozarth. �We are also starting these students on
the path to English language skills and conversation to broaden
their career options.� In December of 2007, the Pew Hispanic Center
released a study on assimilation that said ninety one [91] percent
of Hispanic adults born in the United States of immigrant parents
are fluent in English. This reflects a rate of assimilation in
exact pace with previous generations of non English speaking
immigrant(s). The same study also found, however, that 28 percent
of Hispanic immigrants said they speak only Spanish in the
workplace, signaling some enclaves where English is spoken little
in the United States. "Our vision is to lead the educational
community in offering innovative programs to a diverse student
population,� said Bozarth. �We appeal to those who speak only
Spanish and also to those who wish to improve their skill sets in
English-speaking communities.� Florida�s large and growing Hispanic
population and Miami�s unique diversity, places Le Cordon Bleu
College of Culinary Arts Miami, in a leadership position to attract
students who would not otherwise have this opportunity for culinary
education. Those interested may call 1-888-556-0222, visit Le
