Slang offers an English-learning platform focused on professional and technical curricula tailored to specific job roles in eight industries, including financial services, consumer goods, logistics, education, technology & design, manufacturing, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. Its modular, machine-learning-driven technology creates dynamic learning routes that are hyper-personalized to each user, department, or organization. The company targets youth, manual laborers, and other underserved populations who lack access to costly traditional English programs, thereby aiming to improve their employability and income potential. Slang is currently concentrated in the Latin America and Caribbean market and serves more than 70 institutional clients in countries such as Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil. The platform’s recent $1 million backing from IDB Lab will finance expansion into additional countries in the region and the rollout of low-cost, sector-specific courses for blue-collar workers. By leveraging artificial intelligence, Slang positions itself as a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional English instruction for the region’s large non-English-speaking workforce.
