Writing Skills
Writing skills are critical for immigrant professionals working in a business environment, or attempting to enter the Canadian professional workforce for the first time. The goal of the writing course is to give learners the skills they need to feel confident and professional in their writing tasks.
Writing Skills 1 focuses on basic Writing Skills: grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph and essay writing, and provides an introduction to business writing.
Writing Skills 2 develops these skills at a more advanced level and focuses on business writing genres and formats. Students must take Writing Skills 1 before they can take 2.
Students who complete Writing Skills 1&2 can register for Returning Writing.
