Course description
Business Writing for Graduates – in-house training
Recruitment of graduates is a large investment in business. Despite them entering with the required technical skills and knowledge required to succeed, their potential lack of experience in writing in a professional work environment could hold them back. This course from Emphasis is designed to give graduates a basic foundational knowledge in all areas of professional writing – day-to-day emails, reports or customer letters.
