Careers case studiesCase studies

RLN London has collected case studies which show the different ways Londoners can get to use languages in their work. We've also a selection of Community Languages-focused case studies in our businesses area, which show how the languages you may speak at home can be valuable for many businesses in the Capital. If languages have helped you in your career and you'd like to be featured, do get in touch.

Please note that many of the case studies link to the Languages Work website, where you can read lots more stories from people using their languages in jobs across the UK and overseas.
