Learning a Language - Gateway to a Great Career

Learning another language is one of the best ways to fast track your career or get on the career ladder in the first place.  You can find out all about the opportunities and advantages it brings by visiting this year’s SkillsLondon 2010.   CILT, the National Centre for Languages will be giving a languages presentation at the show, the UK’s biggest careers and skills event for young people, and providing information throughout the three day event.

Anne Marie Graham, CILT’s Head of Skills, Business and Adult Learning, said: “Young people today are faced with a wealth of subjects and career routes, which can often be daunting. Events like SkillsLondon enable us to offer individuals and groups up-to-date information, based on labour market intelligence, about how language and intercultural skills can add value to your chosen career, regardless of the sector you want to work in’.

Filled with opportunities to interact with the world of work, talking directly to employers or listening to expert speakers, SkillsLondon 2010  is a great way to find out specific information about a career you are interested in exploring, or to find out more about a range of careers to inspire you in your future choices.

Join Anne Marie for her talk “From Accountancy to Zoology – How Language Influences Our Jobs” on Friday at 2pm and visit the CILT, stand at C66 which will be open throughout the show.

Companies taking part in the show include the BBC, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and EDF Energy, who are supported by a wide range of universities, colleges and training providers.
