Opportunities for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games : linguists and journalists
The London-Rio City Links has new Rio 2016 Olympic Games volunteer opportunities for students, staff and alumni who can speak any of the following languages: Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese
We also have a limited number of places for Journalism students and alumni who have industry experience. We have so far placed 15 students/graduates from UK universities with roles as official specialist volunteers at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in August, subject to final security checks.
The organising committee recognises the high calibre of your students and would like to recruit even more students/alumni, who have the desired skills, from the UK. We would appreciate your help once again in circulating this once-in-a-lifetime offer to the relevant departments and to any students, alumni and staff who may be interested. All of our volunteers are also being offered a place on our Pre-Games Training Camp for six to eight weeks in June and July 2016 at a Brazilian university, where they will learn Portuguese and volunteer in Brazilian society.
Additionally, we are always recruiting students/graduates of Portuguese or Spanish courses to teach English in Brazil with our five month paid internships programme. If you would like to know any more details, please do not hesitate to contact me or my colleagues Julian Vennis on Jvennis@worldcitylinks.net or Rachel Banks on rachel@worldcitylinks.net
