For any construction company, communication is a key component of managing and completing any project successfully, especially when it comes to understanding the basics of the English Language, the prominent language used in the construction industry in Manitoba. That’s why the Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC) developed its English for Construction Purposes Course. This program will provide newcomers to the construction industry in Manitoba with an opportunity to increase their English communication skills.

All lessons are standalone and can be delivered in a modular format. Suggested delivery would be 2- 4 hours a week for either 5 or 10 weeks. The modular design allows for flexibility in scheduling.
