GlobalEnglish Corporation (www.GlobalEnglish.com), the leading provider of on-demand learning and support for business English communication, today announced that Saudi Aramco, the national oil company of Saudi Arabia and the leading oil exporter to the world, has signed a multiyear contract to implement the GlobalEnglish Corporate Learning Service(tm) with thousands of employees.
"We are a global energy company, and fluency in English, the language of the oil and gas industry, is essential for communication within the company and with our business partners around the world," said Nabeel Al-Jama', general manager of Saudi Aramco's Training and Career Development organization. The GlobalEnglish service will be deployed primarily to high school graduates who will be joining Saudi Aramco's apprenticeship and college preparatory programs. In addition, a targeted number of employees will use GlobalEnglish to prepare for their advanced studies at universities outside the Kingdom.
"We are delighted to be working with Saudi Aramco to support the development of the English communication skills of their workforce. Global companies must be able to function as an integrated organization, and the ability to communicate lies at the heart of that," says Deepak Desai, President and CEO of GlobalEnglish Corporation. Ninety-one percent of employees in global companies indicate English is required or important to do their job, yet only seven percent of them indicate their current level of English is sufficient. "With the GlobalEnglish online service, we help companies address this issue in a cost-effective and scalable way," continued Desai.
GlobalEnglish is working in partnership with Naizak Global Engineering Systems to introduce GlobalEnglish to multinational companies in Saudi Arabia and promote the benefits of the GlobalEnglish online solution for developing business English competence, increasing employee productivity, and reducing costs.
