Language training built for the workforce you serve.
ESL for Workforce Enterprise partners with Job Corps centers, community colleges, workforce development organizations, and employers to deliver contextualized language instruction that accelerates career readiness.
Your participants are ready to work. Language shouldn't hold them back.
Millions of young adults in workforce programs have the technical skills to succeed — but limited English proficiency creates barriers at every step: safety briefings, supervisor instructions, certification exams, and workplace communication. We close that gap with trade-specific ESL that fits directly into your existing program structure.
Who we partner with
Our curriculum is built for the full spectrum of workforce education — from federally-funded training centers to employer-sponsored programs.

"Our Job Corps participants had the technical skills but were struggling with safety briefings and supervisor communication. ESL for Workforce Enterprise gave us curriculum that addressed exactly those gaps — and our instructors were able to implement it in the first week."
