For many young people, the announcement of the Panhellenic scores marks the beginning of a new route. For others, he raises questions about the next step. In any case, the labour market has its own rules and professional opportunities are not defined solely by the computer.
Today, businesses are looking for people with knowledge, practical training and professional skills. And few branches reflect this reality as strongly as tourism and focus.
With Greek tourism constantly expanding its footprint and needs for qualified personnel to remain high, professions linked to gastronomy and hospitality offer important career and development potential today.
Among them, three specialties stand out.

Confectionary is one of the most specialized areas of gastronomy. A pastry chef creates high quality sweets combining technical precision, creativity and high aesthetics.
Premium pastry shops, luxury hotels, resort and hospitality businesses are constantly looking for professionals who can offer high quality products and modern taste suggestions.
Through the program Le Monde Pastry Chef, students are trained in modern techniques and gain practical experience in real working conditions.
The occupation is in «heart» hospitality

This is a career with great prospects for growth, as organized hotel units are constantly looking for executives with specialized knowledge of management and hospitality.
