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 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.

These courses are open to the public and are also available as custom, onsite 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.
