Abstract	The drive to embed employability in Higher Education (HE) offers a growth opportunity for languages provision. The employability potential of language learning for the global graduate has been analysed by the "Born Global" project on languages and employability (British Academy, 2016). Employers have consistently identified communication and resilience, skills often imparted in learning language programmes, as highly sought after skills (World Economic Forum, 2018). Extensive evidence of the skill-set associated with language learning recently collected in the comprehensive volume "Employability for languages: a handbook," edited by Corradini, Borthwick, and Gallagher-Brett (2016). In the same spirit of disseminating projects that equip students for real-life situations and introduce them to the world of work, this paper proposes the creation of a video CV as an innovative activity to integrate language learning and employability. Although the case study relates to Spanish, the process and steps identified can be easily adapted to other languages.
