PALS International has been around Metro Detroit for awhile and it doesn't look like it is going anywhere anytime soon.
In fact, the Troy-based firm that specializes in foreign language instruction has seen a steady increase in its business as the world has become a smaller, flatter place. The company has added 10 new employees to round out its staff of 75, and an army of independent contractors that numbers somewhere between 500 and 1,000 at any given time.
PALS International looks to increase its business with 20 percent revenue growth and new customers in the near future.
The company provides language training tools that accommodate busy, mobile lifestyles. It combines proven instructional design with state-of-the-art technology for its PALS Language On The GO! product. The company can also provides tutors for its customers.
The languages its courses cover are English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Dutch. Chinese, Japanese and Arabic courses are also available on CD ROM.
