Business Writing
Description
Writing is a key method of communication for most people, and it's one that many people struggle with. Writing and communication skills have degraded with more and more people communicating through email and text messaging. Developing writing skills is still important in the business world as creating proper documents (such as proposals, reports, and agendas) gives you that extra edge in the workplace.
The Business Writing course will give you a refresher on basic writing concepts (such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation) and an overview of the most common business documents. These basic skills will provide you with that extra benefit in the business world that a lot of people are losing.
