Guelph - According to Statistics Canada, 70 percent of new immigrants arriving in Canada come with limited English language skills that negatively affect their ability to communicate successfully on the job. English Language Consultants (ELC) provides both on-site and web-based Business English as a Second Language (B.ESL) training workshops and programs that improve business communication skills.

Most companies realize that by integrating on-site business language training programs into a culturally diverse work environment, they create a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining and advancing skilled workers. At ELC, we offer the practical tools to make this happen efficiently and effectively, resulting in a greater financial return and a safer, more productive workplace.

Other benefits offered by ELC include web-based resources such as the Online Student Language Management Database, the Language and Communication Notebook and the Friends of ELC Business Directory.

According to Olivia Hadar, MA Tesol, president of ELC, “In our global village, instead of perceiving cultural differences as obstacles, we should regard them as business opportunities.”
