Sigríður Droplaug Jónsdóttir, division manager at MÍMIR, discusses the importance of Icelandic language instruction for employees in Icelandic industry.
Mímir has been teaching Icelandic since 2005 and has been one of the cornerstones of our educational activities. Each year, around 1500 - 2000 students attend the courses.
The strengths of the courses are diverse and lie not least in the varied teaching methods. Mímir's teachers have broad linguistic backgrounds, making it possible to reach the large number of people whose native language is not Icelandic.
Strong Icelandic language instruction strengthens companies that have a diverse group of employees. The instruction also strongly supports individuals' professional development and their integration into Icelandic society.
