More than fluency: the value of languages for corporate careers

Think languages are only relevant to translators and interpreters, or that their value fades in business, finance or innovation roles? Think again. 

Multilingualism is increasingly recognised as a differentiator in professional services, developing the analytical thinking, cultural intelligence and adaptability prized by employers in an AI‑shaped world. In this webinar, Dom Hebblethwaite, CIOL Head of Membership, is joined by senior professionals who share how language aptitude has supported career progression in global organisations and how you can position your language background beyond traditional linguist roles. 

Key takeaways: 

• How language skills add value in senior roles across banking and professional services 
• Current trends in how recruiters and senior leaders assess language aptitude at executive level 
• Why multilingual thinking matters beyond fluency 
• How to position your language background for non‑linguist careers
