Writing Workshops Courses to help you write clearly and persuasively.
Communication skills are the key to efficient and effective operations in business and government. New employees should brush-up on their basic written communication and plain English skills, while experienced professionals, burdened by the additional workload caused by downsizing and budget cuts, can also benefit refreshing skills.
Our writing courses are designed for anyone who wants to improve their writing, including agency staff who want to improve their writing and comply with the Plain Writing Act of 2010 (H.R. 946) and Executive Orders 12866, 12988, and 13563.
Our writing courses have been described as "really about how to get better job reviews and get promoted" because they help you improve one of your most important, and visible, job skills: written communication.
All of our courses and workshops include extensive interaction with our faculty, making our courses and workshops both educational and mini-consulting sessions with substantive experts.
These courses are open to the public and are also available as custom, on-site training
For starters, attend our two-day Word Workshop--made up of two one-day writing courses. Lessons focus on writing as a process and ways to apply that process to everyday assignments.
If you work in an association, government agency or law firm and have any responsibility for writing speeches, making presentations, drafting legislation or preparing testimony, you will benefit learning from our experienced faculty.
These writing courses and any combination of their topics are available as custom on-site training for your organization. We have tailored our writing courses for attorneys, program analysts, lobbyists, paralegals, Inspector Generals, legislative assistants, and others.
