ESOL Employability Training
in Bury.

EmployaLingua® — a Pathfinder Educational Ltd product based in Manchester — works with Bury Council, Fairfield General Hospital / Northern Care Alliance, and Bury College to turn ESOL learners into employed workers across Bury.

Delivered under WEA-funded and Greater Manchester Combined Authority programmes. Available for commissioning by Local Authorities, training providers, FE colleges, and NHS workforce teams.

Built on the Trapezium Model — Identity, Character, Competence, Impact. Every learner begins with a personalised identity statement before a single word is taught. Learn how it works →

Bury context

Sector-specific language is the barrier between Bury's ESOL learners and the work they can do.

Bury has significant ESOL learner populations with strong employment capability. The gap is not competence — it is the sector-specific language of Healthcare, Construction, Teaching, and Digital roles.

EmployaLingua® closes that gap. Deployed alongside Bury College and Bury Council's existing ESOL provision, it converts language learners into sector-ready workers.
