Workforce & Employer Language Training in Washington, DC & Montgomery County
ILI helps employers and workforce partners address language and communication needs that affect employees, supervisors and organizations. We serve Washington, DC and Montgomery County and can develop customized English or foreign language training around a specific workplace objective.
What Communication Challenge Is Affecting Your Workforce?
Employees may need stronger English for customer service, safety, teamwork, supervision, healthcare communication, presentations, writing or advancement. Instead of requiring a workforce to fit into a general language class, ILI can assess the need and build training around the work participants actually do.

A Practical Development Process
Needs Assessment → Language/Proficiency Assessment → Customized Objectives → Curriculum Development → Training → Progress Measurement → Final Assessment/Report
This approach allows the curriculum, schedule and measurement of progress to reflect the employer’s objectives. Programs can be designed for a single employee, a cohort or multiple proficiency levels.
Flexible Delivery
Training can be arranged at ILI, at an employer or partner location, or live online when appropriate. Scheduling can be developed around workforce requirements and participant availability.
For Employers and Community Partners
We welcome conversations with employers, workforce-development organizations, chambers of commerce, economic-development organizations, nonprofits, government agencies and community partners that are trying to strengthen workforce communication and language skills.
