ProTrain is known throughout the educational industry for offering courses in fields like healthcare and information technology. We have helped train countless numbers of engineers, human resources managers, administrative assistants, and even medical coders and billers. But we also offer a range of courses you will not find with many of our competitors. Spanish in the Workplace training is a perfect example.
Over the last several decades, our country has welcomed large numbers of Spanish-speaking families who have come to this country seeking opportunities. In some parts of the country, it is common for workers to interact with Spanish-speaking coworkers and customers on a daily basis. The language barrier can make things challenging.
That language barrier is one of the motivations behind ProTrain’s Spanish in the Workplace courses. If you interact on a daily basis with Spanish-speaking people, these courses are ideal for you. You will help both yourself and others by breaking down that language barrier and opening the door to more effective communication.
A Few Course Examples
How can Spanish in the Workplace help you? For starters, it can make you more employable. Being bilingual is becoming more important as time goes by. But being fluent in Spanish doesn’t just help you. It also helps your coworkers and customers by making you more approachable.
Here are just a few of the Spanish in the Workplace courses we offer:
1. Spanish for Construction
This is one of our most demanded Spanish in the Workplace courses. It is designed for construction workers, foremen, independent contractors, and anyone else who engages regularly with Spanish-speaking construction workers.
2. Spanish for Dentists and Dental Hygienists
Language barriers can create serious problems in a medical setting. With that in mind, we offer this course to dentists and dental hygienists whose offices treat Spanish-speaking patients. Overcoming the language barrier can make a difference in everything from customer service to patient outcomes.
3. Spanish for Educators
It is becoming more common for educators to face a language barrier in the classroom. By learning to speak Spanish, they can more effectively communicate with students who would otherwise struggle.
Real ProTrain Student Testimonial
“My school is experiencing more enrollment of Spanish-speaking students. I want to connect personally with them and their families. There was no pressure in the Spanish for Educators course, and I could work at my own pace.”
— Betsy Sullivan
4. Spanish for Law Enforcement
Our Spanish for Law Enforcement program equips law enforcement officers and supervisors to interact safely and effectively with Spanish-speaking communities. This truly is a must-have certification for anyone in modern law enforcement.
These four courses are just the tip of the iceberg. We offer more than a dozen Spanish in the Workplace courses, all designed as self-paced online courses you complete in your own time. Hours and course work can vary. In addition, some of the courses are supported by mentors.
Change Lives by Learning Spanish
It takes a lot of courage to leave one’s home and migrate to another country with an unfamiliar culture and language. Likewise, it takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to overcome the language barrier and reach out to those coworkers and customers whose first language is Spanish.
You may feel like you have limited opportunities to do life changing things in your current job. But if you regularly interact with Spanish-speaking people, learning conversational Spanish could change a lot of lives. You owe it to yourself and those you interact with to at least consider the possibility.
