Making A Difference In People's Lives

Workplace ESL Solutions has enjoyed an excellent reputation for over 20 years for offering classes that truly make a difference in people's lives.  Our Workplace ESL class is a perfect example.  Companies who have a large international staff hire us to help their employees learn English better and improve workplace success.

Our students learn more than English - they gain a new sense of accomplishment and confidence to be able to live and work and succeed in the United States, their new country.  Families and co-workers come to cheer on graduates and more often than not, many happy tears of gratitude are shed.  We're so proud of our graduates! 

                          
(This is our most recent class of graduates from MGM Resorts International!  They just graduated yesterday!)


Workplace ESL offers customizable classes for employees in several different industries:
  • General Workplace ESL
    Employees will emerge from this course with enhanced English communications skills and the ability to communicate with a wider range of people, from co-workers to other employees. 
  • Workplace ESL for Construction
    Through this Workplace ESL course tailored specifically towards the construction industry, we'll help your employees achieve a higher level of communication project-wide. 
  • Workplace ESL for Hospitals
    When the housekeeping staff is better able to communicate with patients and their visitors, a hospital can create a better experience in trying times for those facing health concerns. 
  • Workplace ESL for Hotels
    With our course designed specifically for hotels, your staff will be well on their way to greater levels of workplace confidence, enhanced communication skills, and feel they are an integral part in the overall guest experience.
  • Workplace ESL for Laundry Facilities
    With the course designed specifically for laundry facilities, your crew will enjoy an enhanced ability to communicate in English resulting in fewer errors, timely machinery malfunction alerts, and a facility that operates with a higher level of efficacy.  

We're happy to create a special class for YOUR company!

Learning Is Supposed to Be Fun!

Congratulations our newest Spanish class graduates!  The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas invited several managers and supervisors to attend the 8 week course offered by Workplace ESL Solutions.  The goal of this class content is to improve communication with Hispanic co-workers and create a better working environment with cultural understanding and respect.

This ain't your common high school class!  Each week the class participates in role-playing that includes workplace vocabulary, games, videos, and lots of laughter.


Students taking Workplace ESL Solutions courses learn how to communicate better and take on more effective leadership roles in their workplace.  Class sizes are small, allowing for individualized instruction and content that is completely customized to meet their unique needs.  Students learn by talking, talking, talking!  (There's even a little bit of singing too.)


As you can tell by this photo, FUN is a big part of how Workplace ESL teaches our classes!  Who said learning was supposed to be boring?  Students don't sit and listen to endless lectures.  Students actually become active participants each week. 

We'd love to have you join us for our next class!  To learn more about creating a class for your employees or to purchase our Workplace Spanish books, check out: http://workplaceesl.com/workplace_spanish.asp

Helping employees become US citizens

Happy 4th of July!!

There is always a surge of patriotism in July, as Americans celebrate Independence Day and pause to remember the founding of this great country.  

Does your company have employees who are working towards citizenship?  Any business who has employees who are preparing for their citizenship exam should consider hosting a Workplace ESL Solutions' Citizenship Preparation Course!

Show your eligible employees that you're as invested as they are in the process of their U.S. Citizenship interview by offering them the opportunity for qualified and focused instruction on relevant subject matter through their work place.  

Employees passing the citizenship exam will not only appreciate you, but have an increased sense of loyalty and pride that they bring with them each day to the workplace.

What do you do to help your international employees feel at home here in the good 'ole USA?  How do you help them learn about America?
We'd love to hear your ideas!
