The European Union and the international development of the companies require professional foreign language knowledge at your workplace. What is required by the employee is just as different as the positions in the company. One has to be confident holding presentations in a foreign language, it is important for the other one to negotiate successfully. One colleague has to chair a meeting, the other one has to do business correspondence, be confident on the phone or communicate with the customer. Therefore, inlingua has developed an intensive target-orientated special language programme.
