Stockport · Greater Manchester
EmployaLingua® — a Pathfinder Educational Ltd product based in Manchester — works with Stockport Council, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust / Stepping Hill Hospital, and Stockport College to turn ESOL learners into employed workers across Stockport.
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 →
Stockport context
Stockport 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 Stockport College and Stockport Council's existing ESOL provision, it converts language learners into sector-ready workers.
