Learnship: Innovative Language Training for the Enterprise
The challenge of language training in the business environment is the variety of communication demands emerging in companies in terms of language, communication skill, and topics. Language can often be the main barrier for a company interacting with global customers and business partners. From negotiation to leadership of international teams, many companies record failures in international business due to the lack of intercultural knowledge and language skills.The downside of international connectiveness is that it is a time-consuming and complex task to train and develop departments to meet demands on a global scale.
