Webinar Overview:

As communities in the U.S. become increasingly diverse and the Spanish-speaking population grows, organizations in the private and public sectors are looking for ways to better serve and connect with their changing communities.

In this six-part series, participants learn the 100 most commonly used Spanish phrases; identify key terms and phrases most useful to their jobs; collaborate on a customized job aid/resource for their workplace use; and practice all terms and vocabulary with each other and the instructor. Additionally participants will learn more about working with diverse populations in a culturally competent manner.

At the end of the series, participants will be able to:

  • Learn and practice the 100 most commonly used phrases in Spanish
  • Communicate using the most relevant Spanish customer service terms for their work
  • Identify common customer service scenarios where Spanish would be helpful
  • Become familiar with the concept of cultural competence
  • Appreciate the business case for working with diverse populations
  • Discover freely available practice resources
  • Receive and utilize a custom quick-reference job aid created just for them
