Liège's diverse economy and multilingual job seekers

Liège is one of Belgium's most historically significant cities, and it is reinventing itself economically after the decline of its traditional steel industry. Today, Liège's economy is built on several pillars:

• Aerospace and defence: companies such as Safran Aero Engines, Thales Belgium and a cluster of aeronautics subcontractors operate in the Liège area.
• Logistics and e-commerce: Liège Airport (Bierset) is one of Europe's major cargo hubs. Amazon operates a large logistics centre in the region.
• Technology and digital: Liège's start-up and digital ecosystem has grown significantly in recent years, supported by the University of Liège and Liège Science Park.
• Healthcare and life sciences: the CHU de Liège (University Hospital) and several biotech companies are major employers.
• Public services: as a major Walloon city, Liège hosts numerous regional and provincial public services.

For job seekers from Arabic-speaking, Turkish, Eastern European or other non-French-speaking backgrounds, a polished French cover letter tailored to these sectors is a significant competitive advantage.

Forem in Liège: support for job seekers

Forem is the Walloon employment and training agency. Its Liège offices provide job listings for positions in the Liège province, training programmes, CV coaching and job search support. Forem also offers specific programmes for job seekers with international backgrounds, including integration pathways and recognition of foreign qualifications.

When registering with Forem or applying for positions through its network, job seekers are typically expected to present a CV and cover letter in French. For job seekers who have written their cover letter in their native language - Arabic, Turkish, Romanian, Polish, Spanish, Chinese or another - TranslateBE provides rapid, professional translation into French.

Certified translation for regulated professions in Liège

Some professions in Belgium are regulated and require foreign job seekers to have their diplomas and professional qualifications officially recognised before they can practise. This applies notably to:

• Healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists)
• Engineers (recognition by the Ordre des Ingénieurs)
• Lawyers (recognition by the Barreau de Liège)
• Teachers (recognition by the FWB Département de l'Éducation)
• Architects (recognition by the Ordre des Architectes)

For these professions, a sworn translation of the foreign diploma and supporting transcripts is required, alongside a professional translation of the cover letter and CV. TranslateBE provides both services in a single order, saving time and simplifying the process for Liège professionals.
