Languages & Your Career

Work Inspiration and Preparation Provided by e-Sgoil

Description:

In the session we will explore how languages can contribute to success in a wide range of jobs and career paths. This webinar aims to:

  • introduce secondary learners to the importance of languages and their associated skills in the workplace, 
  • break down stereotypes of careers that use languages, identify appropriate career pathways,
  • hear examples of people who use languages in their daily work.

It is an interactive session with input from people who use languages in their work.

 

DYW Context:
This workshop will help learners identify the language skills they have developed, see how these relate to the world of work and access and interpret the information they need to make well informed choices about their learning options, pathways and possible future careers.
