The Workplace ESOL Project
The Workplace ESOL Project provides ESOL courses at the premises of businesses and organisations across Glasgow. The project is a pilot programme for work-based ESOL courses, targeting organisations and companies with workers who do not speak English as a first language and for whom this is a barrier to using their full skill set.
The Workplace ESOL Project is funded until June 2008 by the Scottish Executive REICS fund.
Workplace ESOL Courses can:
- Strengthen communication skills
- Improve productivity and efficiency of your company
- Improve quality through reduced errors
- Improve your health and safety record
- Increase employee willingness and ability to learn
- Build confidence
- Improve staff loyalty and flexibility
The Workplace ESOL Project in practice
- Workplace ESOL courses are available to any organisation/ company in the Glasgow Area which employs non-native English speakers
- Courses are tailor-made to address the specific needs of the company and learners. Individual interviews are conducted to negotiate course content
- Classes are free of charge and generally take place on company premises during working hours. Times and dates of classes are flexible depending on individual schedules
- Class size is generally quite small with between 5 and 12 learners per group, this allows us to personalise classes
