Globalisation has changed everything about the way we work, travel and are educated. The job market today is unrecognisable from that of even a decade ago and we can only imagine what it will be like a decade from now. As part of a global community, Britain welcomes migrants from around the globe to join its job market. Young adults are, therefore, increasingly required to speak a second language and have the skills to pick up a third and fourth.
