Simplemente para dotar a la empresa de equipos con la capacidad de hablar idiomas para tener la capacidad competitiva en el futuro. Como hay oferta de CV las empresas seleccionan lo que consideran mejor.

El jefe de equipo cumple un papel fundamental a la hora de estimular al alumno y es informado puntualmente por el profesorado de la evolución de su colaborador.
