Course

English As A Second Language For Migrant Staff

Why do your staff need this course?

In response to the skills shortage, you may over the last few years have recruited a cohort of staff from overseas. Whilst technically very capable, they may have some difficulties using English in everyday workplace situations. Perhaps you would like them to build confidence to speak up at meetings, write better reports, take part in external training, participate more widely in activities across the business and get stuck into your company culture?

How will my organisation benefit?

Supporting staff to increase their use of English at work will help them feel more at home and be more productive at work. Having a workforce that is diverse and inclusive will strengthen your company culture by ensuring that all your staff have the communication skills to better understand each other.
