Leading hotels rank Kendall College 1st in hospitality mgmt, culinary careers

MANILA, Philippines - Chicago’s leading hotels rank Kendall College the No. 1 Chicago program for preparing students for hospitality management/culinary careers.

This was the result of industry research that was designed, supervised, and implemented by one of the most respected market research firms in the industry, ORC International. A total of 257 Chicago-area hotels were selected and ranked and 86 hotels on the list were classified as “top-rated” hotels for the purposes of the study. Forty-five hotels were interviewed in this research. Of the 45 hotels interviewed, 22 (48.9 percent) named Kendall College as the number one Chicago-area program in how well it prepared students for managerial positions in the hospitality profession. No other hospitality school was selected number one by more than seven hotels (15.6 percent).

Chicago is one of the key cities in the United States for the hotel and restaurant industry, and for Kendall College, located right beside the city center of Chicago, to be ranked as the No. 1 program tells a lot about the quality of its program. Kendall College in many ways is unique and it combines the professional skills of Swiss Hospitality Training with US Management Practices — a very effective combination. Kendall College is owned and operated by the Laureate Hospitality Education Group which also has Les Roches, Glion, Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, and the Australian International Hotel School as part of their group. So whether students want the USA, Switzerland or Australia, they are assured of the very best hotel management and culinary programs available today.
