CONSTRUCTION: New language translation partnership for safety-focused Foresite Technology

Costa Mesa construction-focused tech company Foresite Technology Solutions LLC inked a partnership with Lilt Inc., a translation company, to make Foresite’s platform accessible in multiple languages.

The agreement helps Foresite’s goal to eliminate language barriers in the construction industry, especially in discussions of safety issues, according to company officials. The company cited 2019 research from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, which found that 42% of employers in the construction industry heavily rely on employees that learn English as a second or third language. “Our partnership with Lilt highlights how we use leading technology partners … to improve the construction industry labor force with multilingual upskilling content,” Foresite CEO John Gillett said in a statement. “This partnership represents the leading edge of our strategy to reimagine and reequip the labor force.”
