Workplace English
Our Workplace English classes are designed for small groups of employees and are held directly at their place of employment. Offering classes during the workday removes many common barriers to participation, creates a supportive learning environment, and demonstrates an employer's investment in the success and growth of its employees.
The program focuses on strengthening essential communication skills through a structured curriculum that builds English proficiency across speaking, listening, reading, comprehension, and writing. Classes, lesson content, and schedules are tailored to meet the unique needs of both the business and its employees, ensuring that learning is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable in the workplace.
We would love to meet with your team to learn about your goals and design a Workplace English program that equips your employees with the skills and confidence they need to grow and thrive in your organization.
Reach is proud to partner with local organizations to provide Workplace English programs, including Avera McKennan Hospital, Sanford USD Medical Center, and Showplace Cabinetry.
What our partners are saying...
"Advancing Health Equity is a mission priority for Avera, and that mission includes supporting our LEP (limited English proficiency) colleagues who wish to strengthen their English literacy skills. It’s been exciting to watch our student colleagues who participate in our onsite Reach Literacy program progress in confidence and ability, and hear the positive comments from their leaders regarding the improvement in communication. We know that as our colleagues’ literacy skills improve, so does their ability to better navigate important areas like health care, finances, community engagement, and family life, while opening more doors for career advancement. We’re grateful for our partnership with Reach Literacy and are proud supporters of this valuable community resource!"
