Even if you want a career in something else, such as ICT or science …
Having a little French AS WELL AS your main subject increases the chance that you will:
a) Get the job in the first place,b) Be given the opportunity to travel abroad as part of your job.
FACT:20% of UK companies believe that they have lost business because of lack of language and cultural skills
FACT:25% experience problems in handling international business.
Therefore – they will be very happy to employ a French speaker!
