Abstract
The Phoenix Francophone Job Fair, co-organized by AZ AATF, Arizona State University and the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles with the support of the Alliance Française of Greater Phoenix, the Rocky Mountain French American Chamber of Commerce (RMFACC) and the Québec Délégation, is an event promoting French-language learning and its usefulness in the job market.
On the program, workshops and conferences about how learning French, a language spoken in a growing space in the world: "La Francophonie," can be an asset at every stage of life, from expanding cognitive development in children, to wowing college admissions, plus it’s an excellent way to get a running start in the job market where international exchanges abound more than ever. The event will allow students and job seekers to learn how they can use their French language skills to boost their careers, or for entrepreneurs, how having French-speaking employees can help companies grow.
Not only high school and college students can attend, as the event will be eye-opening also for parents, teachers, and of course educational institutions and private partners, making the event a moment of networking and exchange for Phoenix and the francophile community in Arizona.
