Careers teachers and advisers

We aim to plug the information gap in the complex area of careers advice about languages, so you can help young people make secure choices about the options available to them. Download or order hard copies of our factsheets to pass on to young people, search for information on languages in different employment sectors, or send learners to this site to get inspiration from our case studies. We also offer a regular newsletter designed for careers professionals so you can keep up to date with information about languages in the world of work.
