Language training online has a number of varied benefits for companies and their employees. Apart from the obvious benefit of your employees becoming better English speakers, corporate language training online can instill in your employees a number of different language skills that are mutually beneficial, like: leadership training, effective professional communication, employee accent reduction and more. And while there are many companies who can provide language training online to your employees for a good bargain, decision makers will have to ask themselves: at what cost? Most of these programs are self-taught; meaning there won't be an instructor to provide on-the-spot correction. In contrast, all of our online corporate English classes are taught by experts in their industry, who lead class through our LIVE webinar teaching portal. Meaning your employees will receive a top-quality online learning experience; that combines the benefits of having an in-person class with all the conveniences of remote learning. Arguably, the best feature of our unique and highly engaging approach to language training online is the flexibility and control we can offer to your business. Our curriculum is 100% customizable, in that we allow you to omit certain aspects of the curriculum if you don't feel it is relevant for your employees. We can even provide industry specific English training to ensure everything in our courses are meeting your individual business needs.

Diversity and Inclusion Training, Construction & Creating a Culture of C.A.R.E
When hearing a phrase like "company values" we tend to picture a stereotypical white collar, corporate office somewhere in a big city that offers employees pizza parties and beer instead of regular raises. In this day and age, these companies are as common as smartphones- they just seem to be everywhere. And just like the majority of people today have a smartphone, A LOT of people are employed by this type of "cookie-cutter" company. It is without doubt that these companies can benefit from diversity and inclusion training but that is a post for another day. As recently as February, 2022 the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintainence was audited and found to be negligent in their responsibility to oversee and enforce state diversity quotas on public construction projects. According to state guidelines, every construction contract should include at least 15.3% of total construction project hours to be performed by minority workers, and 6.9% by female workers. The audit of 127 construction construction contracts discovered that 95% did not meet the female participation goal and 61% did not have any hours completed by women. Findings revealed that 64% of the 127 contracts did not meet minority workforce participation goals, and 36 of them or 28% did not have any hours worked by minorities. As construction hires millions of foreign born employees every year, it is no surprise that the industry has the demand for this type of training.
