Foreign Language Skills Needed

This is probably the best market for graduates with foreign-language skills that we’ve seen since we launched an employment magazine in 1995 and then our web site in 1996. Students with any foreign language skills have a tremendous advantage over those of their classmates who only speak English. We’re seeing a huge demand from the federal government and corporations for those who speak and read foreign languages, especially Chinese, Korean, Farsi, Arabic, and Spanish. But even those who speak other languages such as French are in high demand because those language skills are also needed and some government agencies and corporations are willing to train employees who speak two languages to speak three or more languages.
