There is no doubt that in today’s competitive business environment, strong writing skills are essential to an individual’s career success. Ultimately, the ability to communicate clearly and concisely reflects well - not only on the writer - but on the organization they represent. This experiential course is designed to build and enhance your ability to write effectively and proficiently. By learning and working with techniques that lead to powerful writing, you will be well positioned to contribute to the success of your organization and your career.

This course combines interactive, hands-on classroom sessions with online content.

All of these concepts will be applied to writing effective business documents with an emphasis on the most current business style.
