This document summarizes a study on university graduates' workplace language needs as perceived by employers in Finland. The study investigated employers' views through interviews and surveys. Key findings include:
Employers expect graduates to be proficient in Finnish and Swedish, the two official languages of Finland. English is also regularly used in most workplaces. Cultural knowledge and the ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages are highly valued. While additional language skills are appreciated, proficiency in one or two languages is prioritized over an elementary knowledge of several languages. The results suggest universities should better prepare students for the demanding multilingual nature of today's workplaces.

Speaking in English confidently is a challenging task but very crucial for university students. Graduates with good communication efficiency especially in the engineering field are greatly demanded in the current work industry. Performing confidently is not only important for scoring academic tasks but also to help expand the revenue of the companies at workplace. Thus, a pilot study was conducted to investigate the perceptions of a public technical university engineering undergraduates’ confidence level in speaking English. A mixed method design was employed where a survey and semi-structured interview were conducted for data collection. The participants were selected using purposive sampling method where a total number of 50 undergraduates provided valid responses to the online questionnaire and 5 undergraduates participated in the semi-structured interview. Descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Science Version 25.0 (SPSS version 25.0) and thematic analysis were adopted for data analyses. The results revealed three main areas that were identified as important to build the students’ confidence in speaking: applying manual skills, familiarization of vocabulary and correct usage of grammar. The findings also highlighted that the participants felt that more public speaking practices should be provided to them to improve their confidence level further in speaking English fluently.

5. Background There is an apparent need for English at work, and the knowledge of some other foreign languages is assumed to be a bonus. 5 (Huhta, 1999)
6. Background All university graduates are required to show they are proficient in both official languages of the country and at least one foreign language. (Finland, 2004) 6
7. Background Students’ future careers and language skills needed at workplace should be largely emphasized by language educators at universities. (Lehtonen & Karjalainen, 2008) 7
8. Purpose of the study to investigate the language needs of university graduates at today’s workplace according to the views of their employers 8
9. Literature Review Individuals working in a particular context are expected to have specific skills in a particular language, and that the language often differs from that used in other contexts. (Dlaska, 1999) 9
10. Literature Review There is a insufficient attention of workplace language needs in language teaching at universities. (London communique, 2007) 10
11. Literature Review Graduates’ need for language skills should be paid enough attention by language course designers to bridge the gap between language teaching and the linguistic needs of the workplace. (Horppu & Niskanen, 2004) 11
12. Methods Language Needs at the Workplace Interviews with employers Postal Survey to employees (Horppu, 2005)
25. Conclusion Foreign language skills are important basic components of professional academic skills. University graduates are expected to use foreign languages in advanced level. knowledge of some other languages is advantaged for employees at workplace. Cultural competence is needed at a international communication. 22
26. Reflection Collecting sufficient qualitative data since the interviewees are from different fields. Providing interview protocol Giving valuable suggestions to language teaching courses at university Giving supportive ideas to conducting similar researches in other contexts Not providing the sample questionnaire 23
