Abstract
In selecting the theme for the 2009 conference, the SCOLT Executive Board wanted to emphasize the need for languages outside traditional career paths and the ways that language professionals can contribute to those careers; thus was born the idea of “Empowerment through Collaboration.” The SCOLT Board invited spokespersons from non-profit agencies and business organizations to share information about their need for languages via special collaborative sessions during the conference. This article describes recent collaboration resulting in legislation to empower the language community. It concludes with a series of interviews with individuals whose careers outside the language profession require language skills. The topic of careers and languages is an ongoing SCOLT initiative, and more information is available on the Careers Page posted at the SCOLT Web site .
