English for Business & Entrepreneurship Certificate Program

The English for Business & Entrepreneurship program is a 4-week language immersion program where students will professionalize their English language skills in the business world and at the same time learn about the Canadian business and commerce system. 

Through a content-language integrated learning approach, this experiential program will help students and professionals to expand their language within the business context. Using business themes, students will expand their vocabulary, improve grammar usage, and hone writing skills to produce reports, deliver presentations, and discuss issues relevant to business and commerce.
