BCPW510
Portfolio Project in Business Communications
The Portfolio Project gives you an opportunity to apply what you've learned through the required courses in the Certificate in Business Communication and Professional Writing or through equivalent training and experience.
In a mentored atmosphere, you'll create a portfolio-quality document that is either a business case project or a report on a business challenge. You will also give a 30-minute presentation of your case in class and submit a written report of your project.
A week after the course ends, you'll receive one-on-one feedback on your project by phone or Skype.
