ESL Class for Construction & Electrical Industries in Denver, CO

Program

Program posted by: Independent Electrical Contractors-Rocky Mountain

Posted on: December 14, 2012

Program description

Many non-native English speakers are extremely talented assets to the construction and electrical contracting community. One barrier that prevents them from taking their success (and their contractors' success) to the next level is their comfort and control of the English language.

This class will help eliminate this barrier, allowing the individual to become more proficient in English. It will also help give you the tools you need to better understand the English language, including the ability to read textbooks, understand blueprints, and communicate orally. These skills will help increase your productivity and success at work.
