We’re pleased to announce that the new Languages Work website is now live.

The new website is full of up-to-date information on careers and languages, and has been designed to help language learners, teachers and careers professionals understand the importance of language skills when it comes to finding a job.

The site has been completely revamped to include a dedicated area for careers advisers, who we want to work closely with in conveying crucial messages around languages and employability to young people. It also has a Learner Zone, full of information about planning your career, study options, gap years, working and studying abroad – and, of course, some fun language activities for you to have a go at.

On top of that, there’ll be case studies of people using languages in a wide range of jobs, advice about how languages are used in different employment sectors, the latest news and statistics about careers and languages and lots of resources that you can order or download for free, including posters, postcards, careers factsheets and activity books.  

Finally, we’ve created a special careers e-newsletter which you can sign up for on the site, to keep in touch with all the latest developments around careers with languages. This will go out three times a year and will keep you up-to-date with any Languages Work developments and upcoming careers events.

We hope that you will find the new and improved site useful and easy to navigate. We welcome your comments and feedback – contact us at info@languageswork.org.uk
