Guardian web chat – What can I do with a languages degree?
Thursday 22 July, 1pm-4pm

On Thursday 22 July, Guardian Careers are hosting a live web chat about what graduates can do with a languages degree.

The ability to speak a foreign language is becoming an increasingly sought after skill by employers. According to a new survey by the CBI, 71% of UK employers are dissatisfied with foreign language skills in school and college leavers, and 55% are unhappy about graduates’ language skills. The report, which sets out what makes young people most employable, highlights the importance of linguistic proficiency in another language and its capacity to help build business relationships around the world.

Anne Marie Graham, Head of Skills, Business and Adult Learning at CILT, the National Centre for Languages, will be joining the panel of experts for the web chat and will be answering all your questions. So, if you have a languages degree, join the discussion to find out what opportunities are open to you. Post your comments and questions here.
