In a sector powered by multilingual talent, work-based training must focus on equipping employees with the English skills they need to communicate, collaborate, and thrive.

TruMerit, a leader in global healthcare workforce development, is partnering with EnGen, a workforce-aligned English language learning solution, to support foreign-educated nurses and other healthcare professionals in building the language skills to succeed in English-speaking work environments and to flourish in their new communities.

Employers and employees both want better solutions for employee engagement, career growth, and skill-building. English upskilling sits at the intersection of all of these priorities

With the oldest median population in the country, Maine faces acute workforce shortages as many incumbent workers near retirement. But instead of falling behind, the state is building innovative approaches to connect with untapped talent pools, including adult English learners.

The North Dakota Department of Commerce’s Global Talent Office (GTO) today announced the launch of a new statewide initiative to support English language learners through a strategic partnership with EnGen, a virtual, career-aligned English upskilling solution.

To explore the powerful ripple effects of English upskilling, EnGen brought together leaders from the Burning Glass Institute, CAEL, the Maine Department of Labor, and the Maine Department of Education. Their conversation highlighted how investing in language skills creates more resilient talent pipelines, boosts retention, and fuels economic mobility—for everyone.
