Increased e-commerce is driving demand for more warehouse workers who can handle machinery, communicate efficiently with team members, and understand safety protocols. With the warehousing sector seeing higher demand, EnGen recognizes the importance of providing industry-specific training that can pave career pathways for English language learners (ELLs). Our courses, including our Introduction to E-commerce Warehousing and Introduction to Warehouse Machinery, are designed to support education and vocational needs and can quickly help launch integrated employment and training (IET) programs.

The Risk of no Language Training for Manufacturing Employees
With ever-increasing advancements in manufacturing, across an array of industries, efficient employee communication is critical. For employees learning English, being aware of safety hazards prevents injury, leads to better output on the production floor, and can provide opportunities for advancement. However, when an organization decides to forgo language training for its employees, communication challenges that stem from language barriers only proliferate. In fact, safety violations often result in shutdowns, potentially putting the future of the business in a precarious situation.
