What is occupational bilingualism

Occupational bilingualism refers to the ability to use two languages proficiently in the workplace or professional setting. It is a specific type of bilingualism that is focused on the knowledge and use of languages in occupational or job-related contexts. Occupational bilinguals are individuals who have developed advanced language skills in two or more languages and are able to effectively communicate and perform job tasks in different languages. This skill is particularly valuable in industries or professions that require interaction with multilingual clients, colleagues, or customers.
