Custom-Tailored Programs
Writing Throughout Your Career
No matter what their career path, your employees’ work will inevitably involve some level of writing and communication on a day-to-day basis.
Perhaps they are writing for a business or non-profit organization. Maybe their job calls for writing skills necessary to communicate on health, legal, educational, technological or scientific issues. Perhaps they need to shift their writing style from traditional to new media. Whatever writing skills their job requires, we can help to ensure that their communications hit the mark.
This course draws on rhetorical perspectives, notably those inspired by genre scholarship and professional writing practices, to provide your employees with a core of common principles to analyze and to develop their professional writing skills. As part of their course work, they will analyze professional writing samples and writing practices in their field and will apply what they learn to better communicate in the professional environment.
Your employees will develop a portfolio of their writing and will receive individual guidance and feedback in consultation with their professor who will assess their professional writing needs and work to ensure that their goals and objectives are met.
