Spoken English Training for Young Professionals

The need to speak English in your job is becoming more important in countries such as India as business becomes more global. This can put additional pressure on you, the final year college student, who is seeking employment with a large multi-national company.

Basically the spoken English skills you currently have may not be sufficient for you to have the career you want. There is no question that this is one of the gaps in English Language training that is currently available in the marketplace - that is, transforming your social English into professional English. For example, ask yourself the following questions:

Can I succeed in an interview conducted in English?
How will I cope with speaking English throughout my working day?
What skills do I need on the telephone when speaking in English?
How do I run an effective meeting in spoken English?
Am I able to give a management presentation in English?

For some people, these tasks can be difficult even when conducted in their native language. Just think of the additional pressure or stress that this could create if conducted in a second language! That is why training of these skills is so imortant to final year students and young professionals.

Let’s not underestimate this, it could really transform you, your self-confidence and your career. As a result, one such English Professional course has been created and will be rolled out in the classroom in India during the remainder of 2009. An on-line version will be available in December of this year.

Remember that education is a continual process. If you think your spoken English is okay, ask yourself, “Are my spoken English skills sufficient for the workplace?” And even if they are, we could all benefit from some additional skills that come about by learning interview techniques, public speaking skills, etc.
