Here in Quebec City, being able to communicate in English is key to doing business. It gives a competitive edge when expanding markets. Yet, in this period of a labour shortage, it may be necessary to hire employees who do not have the English skills necessary to do their jobs. A solution? English lessons at work.
Offering English lessons to your employees is an investment with an excellent ROI. As employees are able to speak with confidence, the company will be able to expand into new markets throughout the world. Even if the company has no plans to expand in the near future, it will be agile when opportunities arise.
Language study is part of the necessary training for employees and the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail agrees. As an accredited trainer with this commission, Sarah Keller of Verbatum, is qualified to provide this training to your employees.
Entice and retain top performers. With this current labour shortage, offering free English lessons at work can convince the best candidates to choose your company. Not only will these lessons attract great employees, they will keep them as well. Workers who are grateful towards their employers stay longer.
Convinced? Courses with Verbatum are eligible for a grant from Emploi Québec. Contact your Centre local d’emploi to ask about the programme d’apprentissage en milieu de travail.
