This course delves into interpersonal communications in business. I like this course because we discuss the modern workforce, interactions among colleagues in a professional setting, the production of business correspondence, and a bit of discovering or re-inventing ourselves.
Business communications are much more than the means of communication we use as professionals; but the theory behind communications and characteristics involved in becoming an appropriate and effective communicator. I always enjoy this course; because we learn about others' perspectives on how to interact with each other in business settings, methods and strategies others use in various business interactions, and just an excellent course to brush up or polish my level of professionalism as we start to network.
This course is designed to strengthen a student’s oral and written skills for various business-related purposes. The course will also increase their familiarity with multiple communication technologies used widely in business today. Throughout this course, we will develop the application of written, oral and interpersonal communication theory in the business environment.
Of course, I'm going to say yes! But would you believe that studies have shown a decrease in professional communications in modern business in the United States? This led to an increase in employers seeking well-rounded candidates who possess characteristics of an effective communicator and critical thinker.
Are you an individual out of touch with modern-day practices in business operations? Are you an individual preparing to embark upon a career and are unfamiliar with business communications? It's a lot more to it than basic salutations.
Three college credits toward your degree or program; also, I'm excited to report that LBCC has recently adopted (as of Spring 2020) a nationally recognized credential in communication skills for the business you could obtain during this course.
Apart from this course being merely a requirement and certification, you will get the confidence and professionalism to communicate effectively and efficiently with future classmates, professors, colleagues, and supervisors.
