国内首所烧烤大学正式招生！学技术拿文凭，毕业直接上岗

中国首所烧烤大学近日开启招生，烧烤是中国各地随处可见的街头小吃。这所大学的课程设置完善，有学位课程、课程教材，毕业后还推荐到当地知名烧烤餐厅就业。

The university — Yueyang Barbecue College in the central Hunan province — began accepting student applications on Mar. 9. Jointly founded by the Yueyang city government, Yueyang Open University, and the city’s barbecue association, the college was inaugurated last July.

这所大学是位于湖南省岳阳市的岳阳烧烤学院，于3月9日开始接受学生申请。岳阳烧烤学院由岳阳市政府、岳阳开放大学，和岳阳市烧烤协会于去年7月共同创办。

Driven by high competition for roles that require academic degrees, China has in recent years ramped up its vocational education.

由于对需要学位的职位的竞争激烈，中国近年来加大了职业教育力度。

Industry- and food-specific colleges have been founded around the country, including the “Bathing Academy” in the northeast Heilongjiang province, the “Crayfish Academy” in the central Hubei province, and the “Burning Noodles Academy” in the southwest Sichuan province.

全国各地都建立了针对行业和食品的学院，包括黑龙江省的”洗澡学院”，湖北省的”小龙虾学院”，和四川省的”燃面学院”。

That trend now includes Chinese barbecue. In an interview with domestic media, Hu Jun, dean of Yueyang Barbecue College called the school’s coursework “practice-oriented” and said that students will be taught by experienced local barbecue chefs.

如今这一趋势覆盖到了中国的烧烤。在接受国内媒体采访时，岳阳烧烤学院院长胡俊称，学校的课程是”以实践为导向”的，学生将由当地经验丰富的烧烤厨师授课。

The college will assign students three textbooks written based on observations of local barbecue chefs. A formal literacy class, introduced by Hu, was also implemented in 2025 to train experienced chefs into qualified tutors prior to official student enrollment.

该学院将为学生发放三本教科书，教科书是在对当地烧烤厨师进行观察的基础上编写的。胡俊还提到，该学院在2025年开设了正式的文化课程，在正式招生之前，将经验丰富的厨师培养成合格的教师。

Study will primarily focus on two major barbecue techniques: charcoal and iron-plate grilling. It will also cover business-related topics, from ingredient selection and marinating to grilling, serving, production, and restaurant operations, including site selection and cost control.

学习将主要集中在两种主要的烧烤技术上：木炭烧烤和铁板烧烤。它还将涵盖与商业相关的主题，从配料选择、腌制到烧烤、上菜、制作以及餐厅运营，包括选址和成本控制。

The college offers a one-month intensive barbecue course for 5,800 yuan ($840), as well as a degree option. The latter includes a flexible program provided by the Open University of China, with graduates receiving both a state-recognized associate or bachelor’s degree and a professional cooking certificate. Students must be over 18 at time of enrollment.

该学院提供为期一个月的烧烤强化课程，收费5800元，以及学位课程。学位课程包括国家开放大学提供的灵活课程，毕业生将获得国家认可的副学士或学士学位以及专业烹饪证书。学生在入学时必须年满18岁。

Top graduates will also have the chance to gain employment at some of Yueyang’s best-known barbecue restaurants through the college’s feeder system.

优秀毕业生还将有机会通过学院的输送渠道，在岳阳一些最知名的烧烤餐厅找到工作。

According to Hu, for students with entrepreneurial intentions, the college can provide franchise discounts, night market stall simulations, site selection, and decoration.

据胡院长介绍，对于有创业意向的学生，学院可以提供加盟优惠、夜市摊位模拟、选址和装修指导。

Yueyang boasts more than 2,000 barbecue spots and over 50,000 barbecue industry workers, generating over 2 billion yuan annually.

岳阳拥有2000多家烧烤店和5万多名烧烤从业人员，年产值超过20亿元。

The city traces its barbecue history back to the 1970s, when shaokao from the northwestern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region was introduced to the city, and then adapted to local Hunan tastes.

该市的烧烤历史可以追溯到20世纪70年代，当时来自新疆维吾尔自治区的烧烤被引入该市，然后适应当地湖南人的口味进行改良。

Since that time, Yueyang barbecue has become a provincial delicacy. Public and government attention in Yueyang has increasingly focused on the once-precarious street job.

从那时起，岳阳烧烤已成为湖南的一道美食。岳阳的公众和政府对这种曾经不太稳定的街头职业越来越关注。

The Yueyang Barbecue Association was established last March, followed by the Chinese government’s announcement in May that it would officially recognize “barbecue chef” as an occupation.

岳阳市烧烤协会于去年3月成立，随后中国政府于5月宣布将正式承认”烧烤大师”为一种职业。

In July, the local government began promoting “Yueyang barbecue” as an iconic local product and is currently seeking to trademark the culinary practice.

去年7月，地方政府开始推广”岳阳烧烤”作为当地标志性产品，并正在寻求为该烹饪方法注册商标。

The city is also proposing to establish a barbecue museum, complete with a barbecue-themed song.

该市还提议建立一个烧烤博物馆，并配有一首以烧烤为主题的歌曲。
