Communication Coaching
Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs) are a valuable source of human capital filling skilled labour shortages in many Canadian work sectors. Employers recognize that the technical expertise of the IEP is often exceptional, but challenges with workplace culture and communication can exist and are sometimes complex competencies to acquire when English is not one’s first language.
The Communication Coaching Program provides intensive training in the areas of cultural competence, technical writing and oral communication skills to IEPs in the workplace. The program uses adult learning principles to ensure that the needs of the participants are addressed during the program.
Why Choose Communication Coaching?
Communication Coaching can identify gaps in workplace communication skills and help to resolve them by developing a customized learning program based on the specific needs of a client. Through this personalized approach, clients can quickly enhance their English Communication skills.
Our Communication Coaches specialize in technical communication for IEP's and can help improve technical writing, speaking and pronunciation skills and more. The Communication Coaches employed by our program must have the right combination of teaching experience and expertise in the business field applicable to the nature of the employer's business.
