English training for businesses teaches actual job specific language skills to your ESL employees. Because hiring bilingual or multilingual employees is a huge asset! And language proficiency shouldn't stand in the way. However, hiring managers often find that general English proficiency doesn't always translate to effective workplace communication... and that is precisely where our business language training comes in. Here, we reveal exactly what job specific language skills actually means. Plus, how to get English training for businesses to improve vital communications between your ESL employees, your management team and your customer base. Have any questions?
"What are job specific language skills?"
Conversation is so much more than talking. To communicate effectively, you need to have refined a lot of individual skills. Such as: expressing yourself, having the confidence to do so, which requires a wide enough vocabulary and so on. All of which are business English language skills that hiring managers might not be aware of initially.
These days every company seems to speak a language unique unto itself. In fact, an employee at a competing company- even in the same industry- might have a hard time following conversation. Because every company does things a little different and might even have a different name for the same thing. Therefore, professional language skills or job specific language skills refer to the exact English language communication skills that a job requires for an employee to perform their duties accurately, confidently and safely.
