Careers

We believe it is always an advantage to communicate with people from different national and cultural backgrounds. Learning a language is important for job prospects: those who can offer a second language will always be in a stronger position that those who cannot. Perhaps more importantly, links with other schools help pupils forge friendships with young people in other countries, many of which last beyond their time here at Friends’. Developing language skills can enhance opportunities in a number of careers, including the following: Accountancy, Banking, Business, Computing, Diplomacy, Engineering, Interpreting and Translating, Journalism, Law, Marketing, PR, Sales, Teaching and Tourism.
