Time: Half-day and full-day modules
Place: AmCham Training Center Parc Tertiaire Bois Dieu 6 Allée des Chevreuils 69380 Lissieu
Knowledge building and lifelong learning play a key role in the activity of our regional Chapter. Exclusively in Rhône-Alpes and besides the regular events, we have launched an Education Program.
Aware of the increasing need for companies to conduct business in English, we have created an education program: “Business Tools in English”.
All of our experts have been carefully selected in order to meet our highest standards. Our goal is to help you develop a dual competence by both acquiring specific business skills and honing your competence in business English. In addition, our collaborative training methods allow the sharing of best practices and benchmarking to better work in an international business environment.
For further information on the modules please click on the following links and download the catalog or contact us and we will be delighted to send you a hard copy of the French version (The English version is forthcoming).
