ELAM has collaborated with Balcan Innovations to assist them in their French language training programs and help employees to comply with the requirements of Quebec’s Bill 96. We have provided customized French language training to over 100 registants, to receive the necessary skills to succeed in a French-speaking business environment.
In light of the importance of linguistic inclusion and regulatory compliance to our workforce, ELAM developed flexible virtual training programs tailored to work with employees in all job roles, skill levels, and work schedules. In our programs, we focus on practical workplace communication and help learners develop the ability to interact with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders in French.
“I am really happy for the experience, the professor was super nice, approachable and very willing to help us, I will restart in autumn.”
— Gladis A.
Through the course of the partnership, ELAM has worked closely with Balcan’s HR and leadership teams to ensure training is aligned with the company’s mission and employee needs. We have assisted employees in their French learning with individualized learning pathways, experienced teachers, and measurable progress tracking in order to help them be part of Balcan’s compliance, employee development, and workplace inclusion.
This successful collaboration is an example of collaboration and a shared interest to improve people’s communication skills and develop professional growth and a bilingual workplace culture.
