What Can Business Do?
An active partnership between government, education, and business will bring the success of The Language Flagship models to the entire nation, leveraging the investment of the federal government to the benefit of both private and public sectors. Continued input from the business sector will sharpen our insights into language and cultural factors that affect business’ success. Your engagement will ensure that businesses continue to be competitive in both global and domestic economies.
What can you specifically do to help?
- Meet with our representatives to share your views of language needs
in your business
- Help us to understand how you value languages skills through employee
recruitment and retention
- Participate in our various think tank sessions, most currently the 2008
Metro Language Series
- Consider working with one or several of our Flagship Centers to offer
internship opportunities for Flagship students in the U.S. and abroad
to use their advanced language skills for the benefit of your company
and for the growth of their knowledge of the language and business culture
- Offer scholarship support to Flagship Centers for students to study
overseas. Students greatly appreciate the support during their
Flagship year overseas
