Challenge

After relocating employees from Mexico to the U.S. to work at its manufacturing plants, Williams International needed an English training provider to support their employees’ transition through language training. Williams International’s goal was to find a partner who could help the employees and their family members gain the language skills needed to successfully navigate their work responsibilities as well as daily life in the U.S.

Solution

MLC developed an online English training program that allowed employees and family members from multiple states to be able to participate in. The employees and family members are grouped into level-appropriate classes, and are able to progress through six levels of classes to gain a greater proficiency in the English language. Digital literacy has also been woven into our curriculum to account for the varying levels of education and exposure to technology.
