Business Language Champion is a partnership between schools and business to offer young people first-hand experience of language skills in the working environment.

 

What some of our Business Language Champions say:

'I would recommend others become Business Language Champions. It’s an investment in the future. You are promoting your business to the new generation and adjusting your message to a completely new audience. This helps improve your presentation skills and it energizes you with so many new ideas!'

DIna Railean, director, Express Language Solutions

 

'Being part of the Business Language Champions scheme has had a hugely positive impact on our team. As well as enabling us to give something back to the community we work in, we’re able to help pass on the languages legacy to empower and encourage the young linguists who are so vital to the future of our business. As passionate linguists ourselves, we’ve embraced the opportunity to share our enthusiasm and experience with young people. It’s been extremely gratifying to show how languages can be the springboard to a stimulating career in PR and marketing.'

Alison Dwyer, PR Director, Smith & Smith PR Limited

 

'Visiting Tabula really helped the students see the importance of languages as a business communication tool. Being named a regional Business Language Champion is fantastic because it means we can play a meaningful role in the future of the North West’s business'

Nick Barnicoat, Director, Tabula Trading Company

 

Businesses can gain Business Language Champion status by recognizing the importance of languages for improving their business activities.  These businesses are encouraged to host visits from the school with which they are paired in order to show pupils the practical benefits of how languages and cultural awareness can be carried forward and utilised within business.
