ESL Workers Talk the Talk
Finally.
Foodservice training specifically designed for English-as-a-Second-Language workers, a no-brainer that has been in the works at George Brown College for some time.
This academic year, ESL workers will be able to formalize their foodservice training in a course that deals directly with their communication skills.
“Visionary” is an apt moniker for Hospitaltiy School Dean John Walker.
“We’ve been listening to our customers,” says Walker, and in this case, the customer is the resto/foodservice sector screaming for trained labour.
There’s a lot of great immigrant labour available, with an outstanding work ethic and new lives to build, but if they can’t understand the directives or can’t advance once they’ve mastered their duties, no one wins.
Until now.
Nice work George Brown.
