Language Discussion at W & J University

Last Saturday I was a panelist for a discussion on language careers at Washington & Jefferson College and the Sigma Delta Pi Gamma Mu chapter in Washington, PA. This was the 1st annual panel and I found it to be a fun and interesting way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

The students were interested in studying abroad and how they can utilize language skills to develop a career path. I was intrigued by the availability of grants to help students there travel and experience other cultures. This is truly an education that no student should pass up. The opportunities to engage with others in different cultures opens a mind to new ways of thinking, acceptance of different ways of doing things and adds value to the travelers experiences in more ways than can be imagined.

The State of PA has more reps within country than any other state. These reps are located throughout the world and work to help you grow business in other regions. Many of our in-country PA state reps will be in Pittsburgh on May 6th and will accept appointments if you would like to meet them. Please see the 3rd link for more details! Businesses located in the commonwealth of PA are fortunate to have such amazing resources! Take advantage of it!

The below links are posted here for Hannah. She is traveling to China for 18 days and we discussed entering a very different culture. When traveling to a new region, know the U.S. resources there. The first link lists who to contact, where their offices are and tips for safe travel. I hope this helps you as you journey beyond our borders. Remember their are grants to help you translate your websites and marketing information to sell to other regions. Contact me for more details, together we can build sales!
