Proficiency in English Grammar & Communication (PEG&C)

Programme Overview 

A globalised world requires strong English skills, as language barriers can limit professional growth and international business opportunities. In a recent survey of 28 non-English-speaking countries, 70% of companies identified English as essential to their operations, with 11% listing it as their primary language. Furthermore, professionals with stronger grammar skills often advance to higher positions, underscoring the impact of English proficiency on career trajectories (Harvard Business Review). 

By 2023, there were approximately 358 million multinational companies worldwide, according to Statista. Notably, the gap in English proficiency across industries is narrowing, with companies investing heavily in English training, self-paced learning increasing, and more professionals now comfortable using English in the workplace. 

This programme focuses on equipping participants with the language skills they need to navigate today’s competitive and interconnected job market.
