Many of the certification courses offered here at ProTrain are related to technical skills. Others are geared toward business management, human resources, and other similar career categories. But what about language courses? You bet. ProTrain offers a selection of Spanish in the Workplace courses that could prove invaluable in your career.
Learning a second language was considered a novelty 50 years ago. That is no longer the case. Many modern industries are in desperate need of bilingual workers. The need is most prevalent in service industries – like healthcare, tourism, etc.
Do you have a love of both languages and helping people? If so, learning a second language is probably right up your alley. We can come alongside and train you to use Spanish in your day-to-day work. Our Spanish in the Workplace courses are applicable to banking, construction, food service, education, and more.
The Demand Is Real
Understand that the demand for bilingual employees is very real. According to the American Immigration Council, it doubled between 2010 and 2015. Employers posted approximately 240,000 bilingual job openings in 2010. Some five years later, the number jumped to more than 630,000.
Little has changed since. According to a 2023 Forbes piece, nine out of every ten employers in the U.S. rely on at least some employees who speak languages other than English. Bilingual employees are so valued that they can earn up to 35% more and have access to other opportunities not available to their non-bilingual colleagues.
It’s Really About People
It is true that learning a second language can help you along your career path. A second language makes you more valuable to your employer. But really, it is about people at the end of the day. For example, one of our most in-demand Spanish in the Workplace courses is the Spanish for Healthcare course.
This course is designed to help bridge the communication gap between English-speaking healthcare professionals and their Spanish-speaking patients. When you consider just how critical quality healthcare is, it becomes apparent why it is so important that providers and patients be able to speak the same language.
By learning a second language, you are also learning how to communicate more effectively. By learning that language in an industry-specific setting, you are learning the words and phrases that will help you communicate most effectively in the workplace.
How We Communicate Is Critical
The fact is that how we communicate is critical. Whether you are a nurse, a construction worker, an educator, or something else, your ability to communicate impacts your relationships with other people. It affects whether you do the best job you can.
A Spanish in the Workplace course takes the concept of learning a second language and focuses it squarely on a particular job category or industry. Why? Because some of the terms you would need to know in healthcare do not apply to construction, and vice versa. We give you the opportunity to choose the courses that directly apply to your career.

Our take on all of this is that learning a second language for business purposes is a way to help both yourself and others. ProTrain offers a complete selection of Spanish in the Workplace courses.
