Our Level 2 students worked hard this spring to strengthen their workplace communication. They practiced real-world conversations on essential job skills — like how to request assistance, ask for time off, report workplace accidents or injuries, and notify supervisors when calling in sick. Check out these great photos from Nancy’s Workplace English class at Heartland Gourmet!
