GOLD STANDARD LANGUAGE ASSESSMENTS FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Government agencies serve increasingly diverse communities, operate in high-risk environments, and are held to strict standards of fairness, compliance, and accountability. Language proficiency plays a direct role in public safety, service delivery, and the effectiveness of today’s government workforce.
Through our Sourcewell partnership, government organizations gain streamlined access to ACTFL® language proficiency assessments, the gold standard in language measurement, delivered exclusively by Language Testing International® (LTI).
We support federal, state, and local agencies with legally defensible, research-based language assessments and advisory services that strengthen hiring, training, certification, and bilingual workforce programs. From public safety and healthcare to transportation, education, and human services, we help agencies build language-ready workforces that reduce risk, improve outcomes, and serve the public with confidence.
