We live in a country today where there are many immigrants workers.а Although immigrants may have a good knowledge of ordinary English, they may not have the same knowledge about workplace jargon. а A new program has been developed that helps immigrants develop their workplace jargon skills, the program is called Occupation-specific Language Training. Sara Kataz, who is with Colleges Ontario, states this program is the first of its kind in Canada. тАЬIt aims to fill the gap for people at the intermediate level that need more than general language training and really want to concentrate on occupation-specific language,тАЭ Katz says. аа а тАЬIn the health-care sector, it would be a lot around how a nurse would interact with clients, or patients. In the business sector, it would be about conducting yourself at meetings, how to make presentations, appropriate ways to leave voice mails and e-mail etiquette.тАЭ тАЬItтАЩs social, cultural and linguistics training,тАЭ she explains. тАЬItтАЩs designed for people who already have the skills, but what they donтАЩt have is experience working in (Canada).тАЭ тАЬThe skills are very specific to the sector. For construction in particular, itтАЩs how to work with coworkers and clients, supervisors and really understanding the differences between directions, approvals and making requests,тАЭ she says. The courses are offered at no cost for permanents residents and protected persons who are working in or want to re-enter an occupation related to the covered skilled trades, or those who want to enter into a program to study a trade.а Go to http://co-oslt.org for a list of colleges and courses covered.
