For companies hiring across borders
Language training for international hires
Help new colleagues from other countries learn the working language of your team, so they can contribute sooner and feel part of it.
Timing depends on the requested languages, schedules, and confirmed tutor capacity.
Hiring internationally is only the first step
Skilled people often join with strong expertise but limited command of the local working language. Without support, they rely on colleagues to translate and stay out of conversations where decisions are made.
Following fast meetings
Practise understanding discussions, asking questions at the right moment, and summarising decisions.
Reading and writing at work
Work with internal messages, documentation, and reports in the language the team uses every day.
Clear instructions and procedures
Understand and explain processes, handovers, and instructions precisely, where misunderstandings cost time.
Building working relationships
Take part in informal conversations, team rituals, and feedback, which shape how quickly someone feels at home.
Make language part of onboarding
Language training works best when it starts with the role. Plan it alongside onboarding, not after problems appear.
Agree goals with the hiring manager
Decide which situations matter in the first months, such as team meetings, customer contact, or written reporting.
Match each new hire with a dedicated tutor
Match the language, current level, goals, and schedule with confirmed tutor capacity.
Practise the role, not a generic course
Individual online sessions and focused practice between sessions use the vocabulary and situations of the new hire's job.
Review progress at onboarding milestones
HR can follow participation and agreed goals and discuss next steps at the usual onboarding check-ins.
Support that respects experienced professionals
International hires are experts in their field. A dedicated tutor treats them that way, building language around the work they already do well, so they can show that expertise in a new language.
Questions and answers
Questions about training international hires
Which working languages can new hires learn?
Plan training in the language your team works in. Availability depends on the requested languages, schedules, and confirmed tutor capacity, which Landfield confirms during the company consultation.
Our new hires have very different levels. Is that a problem?
No. Sessions are individual, so each person starts from their own level and goals while HR coordinates one programme.
Should training start before the first working day?
It can. Starting a few weeks before the first day helps with introductions and early meetings, but training can also begin during onboarding.
Do we need a minimum number of participants?
The standard starting point is 10 participating employees. New hires can join the same company programme as other employees learning languages.
