About the Communication Skills Certificate Program
In today's dynamic work environment, effective communication is crucial. The best ideas and strategies are only as good as one's ability to communicate them, whether it is in writing or verbally. Expressing messages in positive and powerful ways is crucial; this certificate program is designed to improve communication skills through a broad spectrum of offerings covering writing, presentation, and interpersonal communication strategies.
Participants will leave the program with a strong communication toolbox, and practical knowledge about how to apply these tools in different situations with varying audiences.
