PREAMBLE

Our preliminary exploration with various stakeholders has revealed that professionals writing skill is one of the highly essential synergy components for the organizational success. It is observed that proven skill competence in professional writing is highly instrumental for the promotion of organizational relationship along with enhanced functional efficiency.

On the other hand, the organizations have been striving to attract, develop and retain right professionals to undertake organization-wide communication, leadership and evidence-based decision making. The root of such problem is the severe lack of right institutions to develop and promote necessary professional skill competencies in the working professionals as well as beginners of professional life. At the same time, the organizations have been facing numerous difficulties to develop professional skill competencies, especially in Writing, among their employees. The need is even greater in the project-based organizations, especially the non-government sector, as most of their jobs are highly professional writing intensive.

Responding to this situation, Edify Center for Professional Development has recently designed and tested a forty-hour training program on professional writing skills. Now the program is on offer.
