Cross-Cultural Training   

During these courses, participants learn basic West African language communication skills, while consultants thoroughly discuss the people and the business culture of the West Africa countries. Often included in the training is a panel discussion led by executives who have worked extensively in West Africa countries. The classes are adaptable for groups of about 10-20 participants, and can be customized to fit your needs. Our cross-cultural training programs help to bridge gaps for people who interact with West Africa countries, such as business transferees and their families, and employees of global companies. Whether you are heading overseas on a business trip, communicating regularly with foreign partners from the U.S., or selling to customers in West Africa countries, training from WAACCI can ensure that you can communicate effectively. International business requires much more than knowing a country's language. It is important to be skilled in the cultural nuances of a society to make the best
impression and avoid misunderstandings.

 •   West African Language
    -Language structure
