Henry Ford attempted to attract immigrants to work for him by offering English courses and other supportive classes.
Henry Ford established the Ford English School in 1914. In this school, not only did the company teach English to its immigrant workers, but it also provided them with basic language and citizenship training, American culture, history, values and good manners. The graduating ceremony even included the graduating class emerging from the "Melting Pot", symbolizing their rejection of their ethnic identity in favour of the American identity.
