How do you bridge the gap between language and technology? Together with Motopp, we have developed a practical language programme for refugees (from various municipalities) who are starting their careers in IT. Motopp trains IT skills, while we at STE Languages ​​teach IT-related language. IT is a field with its own jargon, communication formats, and corporate culture. That's why we at STE Languages ​​didn't focus on 'classic' language learning, but on language in context. We call this job-oriented language training.

In this IT programme, we teach participants, among other things:

• IT-specific vocabulary and jargon
• Writing emails, giving feedback, and presenting
• Communicating in a team

Currently, we have a group of 11 people at a central location in Utrecht, preparing them for the B2 level with plenty of personal attention, an experienced language trainer, and a strong learning environment. The result? Successful preparation for the future in IT services where language is no longer a barrier, but rather a bridge to opportunities. We are proud of this collaboration with Motopp and the participants who are working diligently on their futures.
