New English speakers graduate - Utah

“Language stood between Vanessa Matassini and her goal of going into the financial industry because her basic English skills just didn’t cut it on a professional level.

Originally from Peru, Matassini moved to Utah to pursue higher education but first found herself getting the English training she needed through the English Language Institute at the University of Utah. After finishing the program a year ago, the 25-year-old is on track to get her finance degree from the U., and she encouraged another crop of ESL students to stick with it as they graduated from the same ESL program Monday night.”
