This program is designed to improve the English-language skills of speakers of other languages who need these skills in order to obtain employment in positions for which they have pre-existing skills and experience.  Upon successful completion of the Intermediate ESL program, the student will have been trained in intermediate English-language speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills; a deeper understanding of American society, culture, workplace expectations, and workplace practices; essential computer skills; and the ability to carry out a successful job search (locating job openings, resume preparation, job-application skills, and interviewing skills). Having successfully completed the Intermediate ESL program, students will be eligible for gainful employment in the United States in a variety of positions that integrate their pre-existing skills and experience with their English-language competencies acquired in this program.
