Celtic English Academy in Cardiff has geared itself up to achieve business recovery and growth in the coming year with assistance from the Welsh government.
The school wants to build on its success by setting its sights on exports and overseas contracts, after landing four major new contracts across three continents over the last three years.
The Welsh government has bolstered its support over the years, giving the school access to the Overseas Business Development Fund – enabling representatives to go on trade missions and allowing for other key market opportunities.
The more recent support from the Welsh government in the form of their Economic Resilience Fund for digital innovation has allowed for further diversification of its services for hybrid teaching, including professional camera equipment and a suite of professional development lessons.
Recent projects include two remote teaching contacts with Kuwait and Vietnam, which are starting this year – they will see Celtic English Academy deliver online sessions with national in-country partners to support the development of English teachers in the countries.
The school now looks to expand its international presence, setting its sights on Latin America, Japan and the Middle East as “key routes” for recovery and subsequent growth.
The academy has already recruited staff in Japan and Brazil, and already exploring teaching opportunities in Saudi Arabia off the back of a “rising demand for ELT” in the region.
