We provide you with up to date information on language careers to assist you in your teaching of modern languages.
Business Language Champions
A nationwide initiative designed to increase the take up of foreign languages, the Business Language Champions programme partners schools with local businesses to help students see how vital language skills are in the modern workplace.
Sources of funding
If you are involved in Vocational Education and Training (VET), work-based learning or you are an adult education provider or learner then you may be eligible for funding to enable you to visit another European country. This could be to complete a work placement, meet with and learn from other organisations or to update your skills and competences.
National Language Standards
These Standards, which have been recently revised, provide a scale of competence for languages within a work setting and are a useful tool to benchmark the language skills of an individual. You can use them to identify skills gaps and as a basis for training materials. To find out more about the National Language Standards visit CILT, the National Centre for Languages.
