| English for the Lottery Business – Step 2 2009
Can you take part and make a valuable contribution in meetings? Do you feel at ease when you’re negotiating in English?
Is there a difference between ‘gaming’ and ‘gambling’, for example? Does your jackpot ‘roll over’ or ‘roll out’? Have you ever had ‘a bit of a flutter’? Would you know what to do, if someone asked you to ‘splash the cash’?
If you already know some English but would like to increase your confidence and develop your meetings and negotiations skills in English – using terminology specific to the lottery business – then Step 2 is exactly what you need.
Venue: Aldwark Manor, York, UK Seminar orgainized by Partners in Training Limited, York, UK To be held from Oct. 4-9 2009 Read more… |

Key elements from similar guidelines already in use by 11 major lotteries were instrumental in the development of this document. Prior to approval, the draft guidelines were also circulated to a number of WLA members.
