Lessons for immigrants 18.10.07

Migrant workers in the county will soon be able to learn English. The English for Speakers of Other Languages for Work qualification will give immigrants basic language skills necessary for employment.

This includes being able to serve customers and understand work health and safety issues.

The qualification will cost immigrants or their employer £330 with the remaining £550 paid for by the Government.

Further education minister Bill Rammell said: "Migrant workers make an important contribution to the economy and it is crucial they can contribute effectively."

Employers will be encouraged to contribute towards developing their employees' language skills, he added.
