Language Networks for Excellence and the School of Law, Social Sciences and Communications at the University of Wolverhampton are pleased to offer TWO motivational talks by Business Language Champions featured in our "The Only Way is Languages!" DVD (watch it here). Each 60 minute interactive talk will be followed by a taster session in a given language with a specific career focus and will engage students and offer realistic career ‘snapshots’. The language tasters will be clearly aligned to a specific industry sector and raise the awareness of a language as a valid and beneficial skill to give competitive edge in the real world.
