Is there miscommunication in the workplace?

There doesn't have to be. Lafayette Multilingual Center offers customized Spanish and English as a second language training courses for businesses.

We use the dynamic Command Spanish® program for the Spanish trainings. This program focuses on the use of basic commands and responses to get the job done, with no tedious grammar or verb drills.

No two courses are the same, because every business has unique language needs.

We will work with you directly to create a program that will teach you and your employees useful phrases and words based on your line of work and the people you communicate with. Our goal is to remove the language barrier in YOUR company!

Information about the Incumbent Workers Training Program (IWTP) for customized training can be found on the LDOL website, http://www.laworks.net/WorkforceDev/IWTP/IWTP_Customized.asp.
