The Corporate World and ASL
The benefits of learning a second language are immense in your personal life. If you run a business, there are also extra advantages to having a staff member who knows American Sign Language. ASL is the fourth most used language in the United States, which means your chances of running into an ASL-user in the corporate world are very high. Easy communication could make the difference between a Deaf consumer utilizing your company or deciding to move onto the next one. Even basic knowledge of ASL and Deaf culture can allow you to provide for a wider, more diverse, range of customers. We currently teach ASL 1 and ASL 2 courses through Microsoft, and many employees take advantage of the ability to learn a new language. If you or your company are looking for a way to cater to a diverse clientele, don’t hesitate to email us and ask how we can help!
