New English training options for foreign professionals

International House Aberdeen, the city’s leading English language centre, has increased its range of English training options for local businesses.

Aberdeen’s ever-growing international workforce is something to be celebrated and encouraged, as it strengthens the local economy and brings welcome cultural diversity. However, it can carry some challenges for local businesses, especially when it comes to the English language in the workplace.

Many companies struggle to develop or retain staff, especially when improved language skills are needed for their employees to make that next career step.
The difficulties faced by international professionals can vary: some operational staff may have limited access to learning English. It may be difficult for them to cover the costs involved in high-quality language training, and their work schedules might make it difficult to attend classes.


At the other end of the spectrum, executives and high-profile professionals with a good level of English, may still struggle in certain areas of their role, whether it is in communication with local staff, business correspondence or industry-specific vocabulary. They can really benefit from high-level individual training and a tailor-made schedule.


Aware of these challenges, IH Aberdeen — ranked one of top-10% language schools in the UK, according to assessments by the British Council — has just increased its range of options for local businesses to meet all needs. “We have seen a growing demand for English training for local businesses and employers. Everyone has different needs, so we are excited to launch some new options aimed at working people and local businesses, such as online lessons and evening classes”, says June Johnstone, founder of IH Aberdeen.
