Professional Communication

What you'll learn

Career transitions or reentry into the workforce after time away can be daunting; refresh your skills and gain new insights with this Professional Communications microcredential! Grounded in the fundamentals of practical and persuasive business and professional communication, this microcredential ensures agility with Microsoft Office and provides you with a map for clearly presenting ideas, supported by evidence and reasoning. You then have the opportunity to customize this microcredential depending on your current areas of expertise and future goals. Choose between a designated professional communications or technical writing course depending on your goals; both provide skills in paper and digital communication. Professional communication focuses on revising, editing, and intercultural communication. Technical writing focuses on instruction, making complex topics easier to understand.
