Monday, September 30, 2024

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Did you know speaking 2 (or 3 or 4) languages is a distinct advantage to a jobhunter? Being bi- or multilingual can significantly enhance your career opportunities and employability in today’s global job market.

 

Come learn from UH Career Services about the breadth and depth of opportunities available to those speaking multiple languages. Faculty and staff will highlight industries with particular interest in multilingual candidates as well as ways you can prepare and position yourself to take advantage of your linguistic diversity.

 

Job sectors including, but not limited to, healthcare, business, higher education, and government will be highlighted by UH faculty and staff, as well as community members and business owners.

 

Participants will learn how speaking multiple languages can set them apart from other candidates and make them more attractive to employers seeking diverse talent.

 

Lunch will be served.
