  • Over 95% of them cannot access traditional English classes.
  • Limited English puts people at a higher risk of getting stuck in entry-level jobs, receiving poor quality health care, and even dying on the job.

This week, ENGLISH @ WORK was astounded to receive a grant from Toyota during the Women in the World Conference in San Antonio earlier this week. ENGLISH @ WORK founder Maile Molin was featured alongside prominent leaders and activists like Gloria Steinem and Dr. Jill Biden as a “Mother of Invention” for her work developing the innovative workplace-language acquisition program over the past 10 years.

It is a privilege and an honor to have ENGLISH @ WORK and its founder highlighted and recognized at this level, and we look forward to all the great things to come thanks to Toyota’s generosity!
