Students studying languages are left without motivation to continue study or pursue a career where they can use their language skills.
Careers in Language started in 2016, with the aim to provide mentors, resources, and motivation for students and teachers of foreign languages. Beginning with Japanese, we’re expanding into other languages soon.
Annual Careers Fair
The Careers in Language Fair is a mix of information sessions, guest speakers, networking, and mentoring, which promotes language related industries, encourages students to continue studying, and to inform them about career paths they otherwise may not have come across.
Students can expect to be exposed to the inside of working for a foreign or cultural based organisation and recounts of speakers’ experiences and career highlights.
Interviews
We conduct interviews with both guest speakers and individuals who’ve had amazing careers and publish them on our website. Use this as student motivation, opening their view of the versatility of foreign languages and what they can be used for.
If you know of someone who’d be good to interview, get in touch. We’re always looking for someone aspirational.
Resources
We try to provide as many resources as possible, both for students learning a foreign language, and their teachers.
More coming soon.
