An expert has said that graduates thinking about looking abroad for employment during the recession must have sufficient linguistic skills. Kathryn Board, chief executive of CILT, the National Centre for Languages, was responding to a recent report by the British Academy, which suggested that the UK's research base could be threatened by the lack of language graduates. Ms Board said: "British graduates without language skills will find themselves at a disadvantage in the international jobs market." She also added that a second language was necessary to gain a competitive edge in the international market and that it is "more important than ever" that graduates looking abroad master one. However, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte recently urged British employers to advertise what vacancies they had to stop university leavers from trying to seek graduate jobs abroad, according to Personnel Today.
