(Class of 2006; BBA Cooperative Education Concentration International Business/ Major Modern Languages with concentrations in German Studies and Hispanic Studies)
I am currently working as a tour consultant at Prométour, a tour operator dedicated to customized group travel. My duties include promoting, planning and designing language and cultural immersion tours for North American students.
My job allows me to make concrete use of the languages I learned thanks to my Modern Languages concentrations and that, on a daily basis! The fact that I can interact with my customers in the language they teach and/or in their mother tongue is a definite asset when comes time to establish a business relationship. My ability to communicate in different languages is a plus that distinguishes me from a lot of my competitors.
