Employment and languages

High impact change processes such as the development from predominant monolingual attitudes in educational and professional organisations in Europe to inclusive, plurilingual and intercultural approaches can only be implemented successfully if they are carried out in dialogue and consultation with key stakeholders concerned. In the 2012-2015 programme the ECML intends to encourage the business sector to take account and build on plurilingual repertoires of employees.
