From Spring 2005 until Spring of 2024, I coordinated the Zions Evening ESL Program--a collaboration between Zions Bank and the English Language Institute (ELI) at the University of Utah on an English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) scholarship program. The English Language Institute is part of University Connected Learning at the University of Utah, offering eight levels of English language proficiency for ESL students. The Zions Evening ESL Program provides professional level English language training for Spanish-speaking Latinos/as well as speakers of other languages who are graduates of Salt Lake Valley ESL programs and who are interested in enhancing their English language skills and employment opportunities. The scholarship was established to minimize costs for training in advanced levels of English with an emphasis on language skills required for the workplace, professional occupations, and financial literacy.
