Energy, Oil & Gas Industry
Language skills have always been important in the energy sector but in recent years, many smaller companies have grown to become powerful, multinational organisations that trade globally. As a result, the ability to communicate with clients and colleagues in a variety of languages has become increasingly critical in order to establish successful working relationships.
Cactus has devised language programmes for employees with a variety of communications needs, helping them to negotiate major fuel purchases or trade in emerging energy markets. Training has taken place on a one-to-one basis, with the language content tailored to the specific needs and role of the individual, or in group classes with between 2 and 14 participants.
Even a small effort shows that organisations recognise that they are part of an international community, and helps them to create stronger foundations in the countries where they operate. Cactus has provided language and cultural training in Arabic, English, Russian, French and Italian to clients in the UK preparing to relocate as well as to those who do not live permanently in one place.
