Spanish/English Language Pilot Program
Many workers in the hospitality and small businesses industry have limited English language proficiency, and likewise, many owners and managers are monolingual English speakers with limited ability in languages spoken among their team. Launched in November 2021, In its first pilot iteration, this program aims to improve English language skills for non-English speaking workers and Spanish language skills for non-Spanish speaking workers. Our assumption is that this will provide increase opportunities for workplace advancement in addition to strengthening internal team culture and communication. This program will continue in 2022.
