Language Link recently welcomed back an old friend that went away with the last recession, corporate foreign language work.
Language Link helps families, visiting scholars and business people learn foreign languages or master English. It also offers tutoring services for students and cultural and language training for foreign nationals in local businesses. It recently landed a significant chunk of corporate foreign language work, teaching German, French and Spanish.
"We're hoping to continue to grow the corporate foreign language work," says
Caroline Wojan, owner & director of
Language Link. "English as a second language work has boomed this year, too. We do both sides of the coin for foreign language."
That has allowed
Language Link to hire two people over the last year, handling test preparation. The 10-year-old firm now employs 10 people and the occasional intern. Wojan hopes to continue expanding her company's staff as it brings on more foreign language work.
