Workshops > Grammar Review for Workplace Correspondence
Description and Goals
Attend the five-dayGrammar Review for Workplace Correspondence workshop June 13-17, 2011at a cost of $500, at RIT/NTID in Rochester, NY. The workshop will be held daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Have you ever had a performance appraisal that states that you need to improve your command of the English language or written communication skills? If your answer is “yes,” then this workshop may be for you. The session prepares you to apply proper grammatical rules to produce better written communications - the kind of writing expected in the workplace. Grammar instruction is heavily emphasized.
