Hiring and Career Advancement

In today's economic climate, improving communication skills is a necessary step toward landing that perfect position. ARI's accent reduction programs level the playing field. Employers can focus on your contributions and qualifications, rather than on pronunciation proficiency.

Placement and Hiring Rates For Native-Born and Foreign-Born Workers

• Only 9.9 percent of foreign-born workers were employed as executives, administrators, and managers, compared to 15.3 percent of the native-born population.
• Native-born workers were more likely than foreign-born workers to be employed in management, professional and related occupations – 38.9 vs. 28.9 percent.

The Critical Role of Effective Communication in Career Advancement

Ineffective communication with coworkers and clients, regardless of the reason, is a clear obstacle to promotion. The ability to handle the communication demands of more senior positions is a prerequisite for advancement. The skills acquired in an ARI accent reduction program strengthen your value to your organization.
