Careers – Opportunities for Language Students

3/15/2021

​Last week, I presented virtually to the students at my alma mater – Holy Name Convent Port of Spain – for their Career Week on opportunities that are available to language students. During the talk, I spoke about the fact that regardless of the field or career path that students choose, languages can always be combined with other careers in multiple fields such as medicine, law enforcement, customer service in several industries, education – teaching/lecturing at primary, secondary or tertiary level, private tutoring online, the foreign service, in export and manufacturing and in many other leadership positions.

Another topic we discussed was how the translation industry is being impacted by globalisation and technology. I recommended some online tools for language students and their language teacher asked me to impress upon them the importance of not using Google Translate as a learning tool, so I also spoke about the reasons why machine translation relied heavily on the intervention of human translators who are trained to post-edit.
 
In all, the girls were very enthusiastic and I was very happy to connect with them and hope that I have inspired some of them to follow a career in languages. Hats off to our dedicated teachers who, within the space of a couple months, have adapted to online teaching and continue to dedicate themselves to the education of our future leaders.
