English Learning Unlocks Career Pathway Potential for Immigrant EmployeesCCCIE has been a key partner in English At Work, an initiative of the National Immigration Forum that works with businesses to provide industry-contextualized English language training for employees to build work site skills and unlock career pathways. This training is customizable, offered in-person or through live online instruction, and has an online tool for employees to access learning as it fits their schedules. The training has proved to be a highly effective solution for limited-English-proficient (LEP) workers across various industries. CCCIE serves as coordinator and facilitator for engaging community colleges as providers of high-quality ESL instruction in their communities. The report, Upskilling New Americans: Innovative English Training for Career Advancement, shares lessons learned with the broader workforce development, immigration, and adult education fields.
