Effective Writing for Government
EWG
Effective Writing for Government will equip you with the strategies, skills and techniques to ensure your writing hits the mark and clearly communicates your messages. Whether you tend to write emails, lengthy reports, or anything else in between, it can be difficult to ensure your writing achieves the outcomes you need and is in keeping with public sector guidelines.
This workshop will demystify the writing process for you by helping you understand the thinking and planning which lies behind good writing and then honing your skills to achieve it. In keeping with the public sector style guide, the workshop will also help you to write in Plain English and the active voice – a strategic way to make sure your writing is easily understood by a variety of audiences. In doing this, we draw on a number of public sector examples and exercises – as well as the fun of our own specially-designed board game. This workshop is designed primarily for APS5 and APS6 level public sector employees but is also open to those acting in these roles or looking to move into them (whether currently in the private or public sector).
