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 International has designed and tested a forty-hour training program on professional writing skills. Now the program is on offer.

This training program intends to:
• support the training participants to improve their general skills of English writing including wordiness, structure, composition, grammar, citation and referencing,
• transform the precision and comprehensiveness of the English language of the participants for better understanding,
• impart in the participants with necessary skill competencies to develop, edit, and evaluate various proposals, reports, and research articles,
• build sound understanding of the use of formal English language within cross-cultural diversity,
• help improve the institutional written communication system within and outside the organizations, and
• enhance the understanding of the use of empirical facts required for promoting communication, leadership, and decision making in organizations.

Primarily, this training is designed to meet the professional writing skills of the working people in public, private, and social sector organizations. Similarly, the fresh graduates willing to pursue new professional career, and early researchers of different specializations also will benefit significantly from this training. More specifically, the working professionals specializing in project design, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation will find the program useful.
