The Incorporate Trainer

Develop business English and communication skills while you work

Our Bosch-dedicated InCorporate Trainers work from within your offices and enable you to work more effectively and efficiently in English.  We work closely alongside your associates and teams, delivering needs-based training, helping you with on-the-job support at your desk, and shadowing you in action. Plus … your  trainer takes responsibility for organizing, administrating and reporting on the training too!

We currently have 19 InCorporate Trainers worldwide dedicated to Bosch , delivering practical business English training on-the-job, for the job training.

Benefit from business English training on-the-job

One of the unique benefits of the InCorporate Trainer is on-the-job training.  Your  trainer is there when you need assistance in preparing emails, specifications, manuals, reports, slides and other documentation. The trainer is also available to you for preparing and shadowing meetings, phone calls, Skype for Business meetings, presentations and location/shop-floor tours.

This innovative approach to business English training is highly effective because your training  takes place at work, while you are working which means you can easily transfer your learning to your work. And remember… research has proven that  70% of learning comes from on-the-job experience!

Discover how we integrate business English training into your workplace at Bosch so you perform better when working in English.

It is the only core competency development program where people were disappointed when they couldn’t join.

Technical Plant Manager

The Target Training is adaptable for weekly business needs and the focused changes by the group. Overall I am really surprised how successful the Target Training is running since January 2017 in my department BaP/COS.

The Virtual Incorporate Trainer

Who‘s it for?

Your Virtual InCorporate Trainer supports your associates, teams and departments, no matter where your Bosch location is. Associates located in isolated offices or smaller teams have access to the same training as everyone else. The Virtual InCorporate Trainer is also available for associates who work from home, and when they are on a business trip.

How does it work?

Your Virtual InCorporate Trainer works just like a traditional InCorporate Trainer …but virtually.  The Virtual InCorporate Trainer helps you work more effectively and efficiently in English, whether it be delivering clearer presentations virtually, participating in online meetings with more confidence, or exchanging information faster and more accurately via email. Your training mirrors your day-to-day reality of working virtually. This means you improve your business English skills AND your virtual communications skills at the same time!

In alignment with your We LEAD Bosch and Industry 4.0 initiatives, we offer a range of practical and transferable training solutions. We believe that for training to make an impact, it needs to match your specific business needs and objectives at Bosch.  We use our 20 years+ experience with Bosch, and our in-depth understanding of your challenges and priorities to ensure your training solutions are realistic.

  • We work with you to define your outcomes.

Leadership Skills

Aligning with We LEAD, we’ve been helping managers and leaders succeed globally since 2005. We deliver bespoke learning journeys, smoothly supporting existing management programs and creating targeted training solutions. At the heart of all our management and leadership training solutions lies two core beliefs

  • to be truly effective, all managers need to consistently achieve the task, develop individuals and build teams.
  • and to do this they need to be authentic, credible and trustworthy.

This encompasses the knowledge, skills and behaviors so you can effectively lead your business, lead others and lead yourself.

Intercultural Competence

Are you currently working across cultures or expecting to work with clients, partners and suppliers from other cultures? Doing business with another culture can be many things – exciting, intimidating, rewarding, challenging … and intercultural training should play a key role in helping your team to prepare to succeed globally. Our Intercultural solutions can be delivered virtually, or face-to-face.

Intercultural skills for business

“Working across cultures at Bosch demands 4 key behaviors. Firstly it is important to recognize that cultural differences may be impacting relationships with colleagues, partners and clients. Once we recognize that culture is playing a part we need to respect the differences – and without respect we cannot hope to actually reconcile the differences and move forward together. Finally, after we have recognized, respected and reconciled the differences we need to “root” them. In other words we develop our own open corporate culture. ”

Chris Slattery, Managing Director at Target Training

Shannon explains how being an InCorporate Trainer is different from being a “regular” Business English teacher.

The 3 core elements of a great presentation

Chris Slattery, Managing Director and training enthusiast, outlines the 3 core elements you need to keep in mind when presenting.

Having a trainer inhouse has established a lasting improvement of Business English for each employee and the whole department.

Department Leader, PS

I highly recommend this training. It is the basis for intercultural success.

Department Leader in Manufacturing and Engineering

I would recommend Target Training because they made the training so relevant to our daily business.

Team Leader in ISEC

I recommend Target Training because the tailored training has really increased my English level. In the past it was very common that the German level at least in European Plants was very high, but now almost every communication outside Germany is in English. My trainer has helped me communicate globally with Asian English speakers.

Group Leader in Manufacturing

We need to fulfill the demands of an international leadplant and this means English becomes more and more basis of our work. Our trainer is “part” of our department and the training is uncomplicated, flexible and with high focus on our needs. I definitely recommend this approach because the training is very effective!

Department Leader in Manufacturing

The importance of English at Bosch has changed a lot in the recent years, and this training helps me to improve my English and have the sureness. I like that we train with situations from my “real business life”. And I have also the opportunity to ask for individual support when I prepare presentations, write special documentation etc. Yes, I really can recommend this training!

Associate in Feuerbach

This training is different to any previous training because it is the English that I need, and is really adapted to my daily work. What I learned can be used immediately. If you want to write better emails, do interesting presentations or feel most comfortable on the phone, then this training is a “must have” for you.
