English Proficiency and Career Advancement in the Garments Sector of Bangladesh

Abstract

In today's environment, English serves as a bridge between people's personal lives and their jobs. In academia, having a good command of the English language makes it easier to understand study materials including books, journals, class lectures, and the internet. Once again, a better knowledge of study materials leads to improved performance on both formative and summative examinations. Ultimately, the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) increases as a result of the better outcomes. Anyone who has graduated from his university with an honorable grade will be given the chance to take advantage of high-paying job prospects if he is interested in entering the workforce. Additionally, if he wishes to continue his education, he may be able to get a scholarship to study in another country. Similarly, being able to speak English raises the chances of being hired by a company that pays well. This research examines the significance of English language ability for people who work in the garment industry in Bangladesh in the twenty-first century. According to a survey and a review of literature, it has been concluded that English proficiency is necessary for retaining employment with dignity and success in the garment business in the twenty-first century.
