BLC project managers across the UK are always on the look out for new Business Language Champions and as Year 9 option choices are being made across the country, as we speak, it will soon be time to turn our attention to recruiting new businesses for the 2010-2011 programme.

If your business is involved in international trade, has overseas suppliers or if you personally have a passion for language skills then you could be just what we are looking for!

Our current BLCs come from various sizes of organisations, across all industries, and whilst some will undertake just one project per year, others will repeat visits or work with multiple schools.  The level of commitment is up to you.

So, if you enjoy working with young people and are passionate about languages and the career benefits they bring, your knowledge and experience could inspire young people to keep up their language skills and boost their own employment prospects.

To find out more about the BLC programme in your region please contact your regional BLC Project Manager or login to MyZone to place your comments below.
