Abstract :
Intel Corp.´s intercultural training for employees is described. The keystone of the program is a multicultural integration workshop, a one-day session where newly hired professionals get together with managers to identify the cross-cultural issues in the workplace that affect them directly. This is augmented by courses on American business culture, accent improvement, speaking under pressure, American idioms and vocabulary in the workplace, and technical and business writing.<>
