On Monday, April 17, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offered a workshop designed to help students identify the marketable job skills gained through foreign language study. The workshop provided a variety of creative activities tlhat encourage students to explore and identify linguistic and cultural skills they take from their study of world languages and cultures, compare these skills to traits identified in the 2016 NACE Job Outlook Survey, and learn to articulate these skills in language appropriate for resumes and cover letters. The workshop was held from 5-6 pm in Humanities 490. Current majors and minors in any of our languages, as well as other students interested in learning more about what language study can offer, were invited to attend.
