About us

Klett World Languages Canada is a fast-growing educational publisher based in Calgary and part of the European Klett Group, which includes over 80 educational companies. We publish high-quality Spanish, French, German, and Italian materials for children, teens, and adults. Our mission is to support educators and help students build real-world communicative skills through authentic, accessible content. We proudly serve schools across Canada and work closely with our international teams to positively shape language education in North America.

 

Why join Klett World Languages Canada?

Klett World Languages Canada is uniquely positioned as a start-up publishing company in  Canada yet is financially backed by a leading European publishing group. Because of this, we have been able to think outside of the box and redesign language learning to meet today’s needs. It’s no surprise that we are called “disrupters” within the language publishing industry.
Klett World Languages Canada supports an international work environment and global work culture that provides room for personal and professional growth as our market share expands exponentially throughout Canada. The leadership makes a concerted effort to respect work-life balance through generous paid time off (PTO) and remote work policies, flexible schedules when possible, and paid professional development. Leadership encourages a growth mindset, provides coaching, and promotes belonging and inclusivity. Klett World Languages Canada also rewards its team for its growth and success through individual bonuses tied to evaluations, prizes, and rewards tied to sales earnings, and yearly retreats.
The Klett World Languages Canada Team is driven by the mission of how we can help change world language education in North America for the better…are you driven to make this change with us?
