Group Communication Training and Workshops

Communication Solutions

Springboards offers group programs to clients from corporate and academic settings who are looking to meet language communication needs within a diverse, international group of employees or students. These needs often address:

  • Proper Command of English Grammar
  • Accent
  • Writing Skills
  • Miscommunication to and from peers and/or clients
  • Presentation Ability
  • Networking Skills
  • The Language of Meetings
  • Telephone/Teleconference Communication
  • Business Language Protocol
  • Business Language Nuances
  • And many other topics

After a thorough consultation with the Springboards 7-step Approach, we are able to deliver customized group trainings to fit the timeframes and linguistic goals of the organization . To guarantee a conducive learning environment and a high level of teacher-to-participant attention, group courses maintain a maximum of 10 members; the minimum is 3 members. All training is done on-site, or at an alternative location booked and scheduled by the company.

Springboards can develop group trainings for:

  • Specialization in one Business Language Communication area (i.e. Presentation Skills)
  • A combination of skill areas as part of a flexible, modular curriculum
  • A combination of Business Language Communication and intensive English Language Training (i.e. a modular curriculum complimented by accent reduction and/or English Grammar fine-tuning)
  • Accent Reduction*

*Members must be from the same native language group.

Topic-based Workshops

For very specific Business Language Communication goals, Springboards can also consult on and deliver workshops as topic-based, high-impact training sessions. For groups of 3 members and above we offer workshops both as stand-alone programs and as a series for the following targets:

  • Networking Skills
  • Presentation Strategies
  • E-mail Writing
  • "The Elevator Pitch"
  • Participating Effectively at Company Meetings
  • "Happy Hour"
  • And many other topics

We do NOT recommend this type of training for accent reduction, English Grammar fine-tuning, or other long-term areas of language acquisition.

New Lunch-n-Learn Series

For the busiest of our corporate clients, the new Lunch-n-Learn series has been recently added to our trainings to support companies with impossible employee schedules, regular peak busy seasons, and short-term goals for training. Similar in structure to the topic-based workshops, the Lunch-n-Learn Series includes:

  • Strategically planned logistics for optimal attendance
  • Company–sponsored lunch or light refreshments
  • A short, 2–hour minimum duration per session
  • Fun, engaging, high–impact learning
  • One or two sessions per month over a 4 to 8–month commitment

As with all its training, the Springboards 7-step Approach is utilized before the workshop series to determine and ensure the objectives of the training will be met within the chosen structure. All workshops are conducted on-site, or at an alternative location booked and scheduled by the company.
