Hello to all -- I'm updating my research on programs for ELLs in the health
care industry and have a few questions for the group.

1) Who offers English for health care employees?

2) Who do these programs target -- job seekers,  newly-hired employees, or
seasoned employees?  What criteria is used to identify good candidates?

3)  Are programs generally job-specific or general?

4) What is the typical program length?  Are any self-paced?

5)  What is the outcome of the program-- certificate, job placement in
target areas, other?

6)  Are there any great success stories you have heard of regarding training
ELL health-care workers?

7)  Have you noticed any specific needs that are not being met by current
programs?

8)  What curricula is used?  Any inclusion of computer-based training?

Thanks for assistance.  You can reply directly to me at
agillespie@prolinguanashville.com or to the group.
