Business Language Champions

Inspiring young people to embrace language learning

Our Business Language Champions programme, which is funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, aims to highlight the importance of language learning, by inspiring businesses to work in partnership with schools and colleges.

We work with CILT, the National Centre for Languages (who co-ordinate the national programme), Comenius London and Education Business Partnerships across the Capital to make this happen. Businesses have benefited from press coverage, development of their staff and added value to their CSR programme. Schools have seen students' interest in languages positively transformed. We've created a range of case studies to demonstrate just what your school or business could get out of it

If you would like to find out more about our programme, don't hesitate to contact the Business Language Champions organiser or download our flyer.
