Course Description

As professionals in the workplace, we may routinely write business documents to provide and/or request information. This activity makes it essential that the words we choose, and how we use them when we write, result in the development of effective, well-crafted business documents. Knowing which elements to include in specific business documents is necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Moreover, writing well is a vital element for a successful career. In other words, to thrive at work, it's essential to thrive at business writing.
