The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), recently announced the findings of its survey that highlights the world languages skill gap in the U.S. workforce. The report, “Making Languages Our Business: Addressing Foreign Language Demand Among U.S. Employers,” shows the critical demand in the U.S. economy for educated multilingual employees, providing the most comprehensive look at the value of world languages to date.
Some Key Findings:
9 out of 10 U.S. employers rely on college graduates with language skills other than English.
56% of U.S. employers say that their language skill demand will increase in the next five years.
47% of U.S. employers state a need for language skills exclusively for the domestic market.
1 in 3 language-dependent U.S. employers report a language skills gap.
1 in 4 U.S. employers lost business due to a lack of language skills.
