Spousal career support
It is clear that dual careers are becoming more common and have been identified as significant inhibitors to mobility. Transworld International offers assistance to corporate clients in putting together a menu of services which can meet the needs of dual career accompanying partners in their new host country or upon repatriation. Our spousal career support will help the expat partner to explore and find employment options which correspond to his or her expectations.
Cross cultural training
The objective of our Cross Cultural Training program is to strengthen the transferee’s individual competencies and the company's capacity to work effectively across cultural borders with intercultural seminars and country-specific training sessions.
These customized sessions provide insights and key information about the host country and its culture. Our experts cover local history, customs, etiquette and day-to-day living issues. Throughout the programs, the trainer appraises participant strengths, gives feedback, and advises on areas for development.
In addition, these training sessions offer perspectives on the business, political and economic trends of the relevant countries and discuss their potential implications to your international business.
Cross-cultural training may be delivered for adults and youth, pre-departure or post-arrival, in group or individual sessions. The duration of the training program is one day or one day and a half.
This includes the following services :
- The Individual Approach
Supports the success of an international assignee and his or her family by facilitating the adjustment and learning processes to a foreign culture.
- The Business Approach
Supports the development of skills and strategies to meet the demands of global business. We assist executives on recognizing culture’s impact on business activities and the demands of transcultural interactions.
These services include lunch on the first day.
Language courses
Although most Belgians can communicate in English, some knowledge of the local language can be very useful in participating in social and cultural life of a country.
Belgium has three official languages: Dutch, French and German. The Flemish community, which speaks Dutch, lives in the north of the country and is the most numerous. Then come the Walloons, in the south, who speak French. Brussels is a bilingual region. Finally, in the extreme east of the country there is a small German-speaking community.
Transworld International works with the best language institutions to offer you tailor made courses (intensive, full day courses, evening courses, or weekend courses) for any language you would want learn and practice.
