Four business ambassadors shared their language journeys with over 200 pupils from nine regional secondary schools as part of our regional languages festival. Explaining how they use French, German, Spanish and Italian in a range of industry settings was a powerful message to the region’s learners. We heard how an engineer used his skills both in Germany and in developing pharmaceutical plant development, how a company making hand sanitiser in County Durham needs to liaise with clients across the world and how recycled industrial processing equipment has a world market with clients expecting the supplier to engage with them in their language....

The application window is to be very small but will deal with applications for the whole of next academic year (21 -22)....
