An integration centre
Prepare your cohorts for the workplace, without overloading your team
Hand candidates a ready-made voice practice tool. Track readiness, export funder reports, and focus your counselors on high-value human coaching rather than repetitive technical vocabulary drills
SST scenario completed: Ready for interview
By an immigrant, for your immigrants
Technology born from lived experience
As an immigrant, I know how paralyzing the feeling of incompetence can be when workplace jargon and cultural codes stand in the way. Linguistic isolation is the leading cause of stress and resignation among newcomers. I founded Danguage to give candidates the safety net I wish I had had — and to give organizations the practice tool that is missing between intake and the first shift

How it works
Pre-configured scenarios. Ready on day one
Your coordinators don't need to build technical lexicons or write prompts. We provide out-of-the-box, industry-specific AI agents that simulate job-site meetings, customer emergencies, and daily floor operations. Just assign a module and watch them practice
Industry contexts
A lexicon built for high-demand sectors
Not generic small talk. We simulate the technical vocabulary and safety codes for the workplaces that actually need talent
Agriculture & agri-food
Norms, machinery, and seasonal workflows
Construction & skilled trades
Jobsite safety (OHS) and technical terminology
Mechanical & industrial
Project management, specs, and design language
Healthcare & personal care
Patient handoffs, hygiene protocols, and care-team vocabulary
Transport & logistics
Dispatch radio, warehouse safety, and delivery protocols
Customer Service & Retail
Client interactions, conflict de-escalation, and point-of-sale vocabulary
Your sector
Need a lexicon we have not listed? We configure workplace scenarios around your protocols

Reassure your employer partners
A guarantee of technical and safety readiness
Your reputation rests on the success of the candidates you place. With Danguage simulations (OHS, logistics, service), you offer quality assurance to corporate partners. You no longer send someone who only completed theory classes — you send a professional who has already practiced the protocols of their plant or store out loud. It is the tool that protects job retention and your standing with partners
Secure your regionalization efforts
Break linguistic isolation in the workplace
Attracting a candidate to the regions is an achievement. Keeping them is another. Linguistic isolation on a local jobsite or farm is the leading cause of departure. Danguage acts as a safety net: by letting candidates practice the jargon of your local economy (agriculture, forestry, tourism) before day one, you reduce their anxiety, guarantee their autonomy, and protect your retention efforts
Linguistic isolation
Pierce the mother-tongue bubble on the worksite
Autonomous practice when cohorts cluster together
Temporary Foreign Workers (TETs) and agricultural cohorts often rely entirely on their native language with peers, stalling their French progression. Danguage forces autonomous vocalization of the foreman's instructions in French, breaking the linguistic bubble without requiring your counselors to travel to the farm or plant floor
One-click funder compliance
One-click compliance and evidence your funders already ask for
Automatically generate readiness reports for provincial and federal grants (e.g., Services Québec, IRCC) Export the evidence funders ask for without rebuilding spreadsheets every quarter
Autonomous mobile practice
Candidates practice safely on their smartphones
Candidates interact with realistic AI supervisors directly from their smartphones. They overcome culture shock and practice professional etiquette safely at home
Multilingual bridge
Accessible from day one, regardless of language
The interface adapts to each learner's mother tongue (Spanish, English, Ukrainian, and more) while they practice workplace interactions in their target language (French or English). No barrier to entry for your language-training cohorts
- FRFrançais
- ENEnglish
- ESEspañol
- PTPortuguês
- UKRУкраїнська
A safe space to make mistakes
Build confidence before public interactions
For many newcomers, the fear of making language errors in public or during an interview is paralyzing. Danguage provides a 100% private, judgment-free environment on their smartphone where they can stumble, repeat, and practice until they feel confident enough to speak up in the real world
The perfect relay for your interpreters
Human interpreters are vital for the first 30 days. Then practice has to continue alone
What happens when the candidate steps onto the factory floor without an interpreter? Danguage is the autonomous practice tool that takes over when the interpreter leaves — building independence with the technical French and safety codes they will hear on site
The bridge between the classroom and the shop floor
Accelerate francization without overloading your teams
Official francization courses are essential, but registration waitlists and candidates’ work schedules often create idle periods. Danguage acts as an autonomous practice lab. While they wait for a cohort seat — or alongside evening classes — candidates rehearse the technical vocabulary and OHS norms of their future employer out loud. You turn wait time into active preparation, and give funders concrete data on workplace vocabulary acquisition
Impact comparison
Danguage, francization, and language apps
A practice lab beside the official course — not a replacement, and not a phrasebook.
| Feature / impact | Danguage | Francization (MIFI) | Apps (e.g. Duolingo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ready for the first work shift (7 to 14 days) | Medium-term pathway | ||
| Targeted vocabulary: workplace jargon and safety (OHS) | Linguistic foundations | Basic phrases | |
| Voice practice under pressure (factory noise, emergencies) | |||
| Asynchronous micro-learning (on the worksite) | Classroom / web portal | ||
| Frees counselor and supervisor time | |||
| Aims at citizenship and long-term integration | Immediate bridge |
AI-assisted triage
Superpower and Focus Area tags surface what to coach next
Instantly identify who is ready and who needs help. Our AI flags specific focus areas (like safety vocabulary) so your counselors know exactly which workshop to assign next
Automated triage for high volume
Deploy counselor time where it actually counts
Managing employability for hundreds of candidates creates a bottleneck. Danguage’s AI acts as a first filter: while cohorts practice autonomously, the dashboard shows instantly who masters the terminology and who needs a human intervention. Stop spending hours on the basics — your counselors focus on final placements and complex cases
Funder reporting that writes itself
Export readiness metrics — not just hours spent
Move away from tracking attendance hours and start exporting concrete readiness evidence for MIFI, Services Québec, and IRCC cycles. Counselors see milestones reached and vocabulary acquired at a glance
A placement pipeline that keeps you in control
We don't bypass your counselors
When an employer requests an interview through the platform, the notification goes directly to the candidate's integration counselor for approval. You retain full control over your cohort's journey
