the brainchild of a team of professors and students from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/modern-languages-and-literatures\/\">World Languages and Cultures Department<\/a> at 麻豆传媒在线. We noticed that despite the more than 200 languages and dialects spoken in New Jersey alone, and the great demand for multilingual employees among domestic and international employers, the tools currently available in the United States to help students choose a career based on their interests and skills have generally neglected to include questions about proficiency in a language other than English.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that our <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/montclair.co1.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_6RPQJ6DDZbHzlpc\" target=\"_blank\">Language Career Calculator<\/a>, in combination with recent alumni descriptions of their jobs and resources for identifying positions in companies that value multilinguals, will encourage students to start thinking early about where they might want to work and how to develop the skills and experiences necessary for landing those jobs.<\/p>\n<p>CHILL was developed with the generous support of an MLA Pathways Step Grant funded by the Mellon Foundation. We thank the numerous colleagues, alumni, students, and professionals inside and outside the University who helped us evaluate needs and offered advice about this platform.<\/p>\n<p>麻豆传媒在线 CHILL Team: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~antenosconfe\">Enza Antenos<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~emerye\">Elizabeth Emery<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~how\">Wing Shan Ho<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~heroldt\">Thomas Herold<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~lafountainp\">Pascale LaFountain<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/~loysenk\">Kathleen Loysen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"prpl-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/chill\/contact-us\/\">Contact us!<\/a><\/span>\n<h2>News and Events<\/h2>\n<p><ul class='news-feed horizontal'><li class='news-item'><div class='image-holder'><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mlt-responsive-background\"  data-original-image=\"\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/b9ad5e29-c788-4a75-bdc1-65c4da9b2386-Thomas-Herold1.jpg\" src=\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/b9ad5e29-c788-4a75-bdc1-65c4da9b2386-Thomas-Herold1.jpg.0.1x.generic.jpg\" alt=\"麻豆传媒在线 Students on Trip to Germany\" \/><\/div><span class='headline'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/2026\/05\/28\/213563\/\">Thirteen Students Return from 麻豆传媒在线 in Munich and Berlin 2026<\/a><\/span><span class='posted'>Thursday May 28, 2026<\/span><\/li><li class='news-item'><div class='image-holder'><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mlt-responsive-background\"  data-original-image=\"\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/chss-globalcultural-germansparklab_05182026.jpg\" src=\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/chss-globalcultural-germansparklab_05182026.jpg.0.1x.generic.jpg\" alt=\"a group of people pose for a photo, each waving a small German flag\" \/><\/div><span class='headline'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/2026\/05\/26\/goethe-institut-representatives-visit-montclairs-spark-for-german-teaching-lab\/\">Goethe-Institut Representatives Visit 麻豆传媒在线\u2019s SPARK for German Teaching Lab<\/a><\/span><span class='posted'>Tuesday May 26, 2026<\/span><\/li><li class='news-item'><div class='image-holder'><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mlt-responsive-background\"  data-original-image=\"\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/Graz_post_canvas.png\" src=\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/chss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2026\/05\/Graz_post_canvas.png.0.1x.generic.jpg\" alt=\"Students, Jose Padilla and Atticus Heuges in Graz\" \/><\/div><span class='headline'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/2026\/05\/21\/quality-of-life-security-and-access-to-higher-education-city-of-graz-interviews-montclair-exchange-students\/\">Quality of Life, Security, and Access to Higher Education: City of Graz Interviews 麻豆传媒在线 Exchange Students<\/a><\/span><span class='posted'>Thursday May 21, 2026<\/span><\/li><\/ul><span class=\"prpl-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/modern-languages-and-literatures\/category\/world-languages-and-cultures\/\">More News and Events<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Career Hub for International Language Learning (CHILL) provides a central location for multilingual students and those just starting a language to consider professions in which world language skills are particularly valued.
