  BRISBANE, CA, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
GlobalEnglish Corporation (www.GlobalEnglish.com), the leading provider
of on-demand assessment, learning and support for business English
communication, today announced their donation of software licenses to the
Mexico division of INROADS. The GlobalEnglish service provides INROADS
Mexico additional resources to further the success of interns who show
promise in international business careers.

    INROADS Mexico is a nonprofit organization dedicated to training and
developing talented, socio-economically challenged students who are
interested in pursuing careers in global business. Qualified students
receive professional internship opportunities in leading international
organizations such as Colgate Palmolive, Deloitte, Grupo Modelo, Lexmark,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Santander Bank.

    The GlobalEnglish online service focuses on developing English
communication skills that are critical to succeed in business. Interns in
the INROADS Mexico program learn skills that can be applied immediately on
the job. With 24/7 access to the GlobalEnglish service including
assessment, activities focused on improving all English skills, and mobile
downloads for MP3 players, GlobalEnglish offers flexibility and
personalization for each individual.

    "Many of our interns come from communities where there is little exposure
to English," said Javier Delgado of INROADS Mexico. "In global
corporations that sponsor INROADS programs, language is an increasingly
bigger obstacle for our interns to overcome. We are grateful to now have
GlobalEnglish's online service to develop strong business English skills
as a part of our program offerings. Better English skills equal improved
career and life opportunities for our country's promising youth."

    INROADS Mexico works with gifted Mexican students who have fewer chances
to break into international business careers. Qualified students are
placed in year-round internships and offered additional skill development
resources. The Mexico City program has grown from sponsoring 12 students
to managing over 100 placed interns.

    "GlobalEnglish helps Global 2000 companies, and now INROADS interns,
communicate effectively through the common language of global business --
English," said Deepak Desai, President and CEO of GlobalEnglish. "INROADS
Mexico offers an ideal opportunity for us to further serve the Global 2000
through early development of business English skills among the best and
brightest minds entering the workforce. We are delighted that the
GlobalEnglish service can assist these exceptional students to reach their
full potential in the world of global business."
