Corporate Language Training Programs for Multinational Companies

Corporate language training programs for multinational companies that teach cultural fluency—so your team hears "no" before it hits the sales report.

The IMF trains with us. So does Children's National Hospital.
What those organizations have in common is that language capacity is operational for them, not aspirational. When your team serves multilingual communities or negotiates across borders, "we'll use an interpreter" is a cost center and a degree of removal from community and culture.
ICLS has built custom programs since 1966 — 85 languages, structured around real job functions.
Fall group cohorts start September 28. Custom corporate programs start whenever you need them: https://hubs.la/Q04rC2920
