Developing effective communication is one of the objectives of the Stellenbosch University Language Centre. One way in which they strive towards attaining this objective is by offering workshops in professional communication. These workshops create an awareness of the value of presenting a uniform and professional image when compiling documents and mainly focus on compiling effective minutes, letters and e-mails, reports and proposals, and web pages, among other document types.
Many Stellenbosch University staff members (from various departments) attend these workshops. Some individuals and departments have already indicated that the workshops have had a positive impact on their professional communication.
Until 2012, the cost of only certain of their workshops was covered by the Skills Development Fund. They are proud to announce that all their workshops are now covered by this Fund. In other words, it will not cost you or your department anything should you attend any of the workshops. Individuals may attend the workshops as specifically offered on their programme, or departments may arrange for a tailor-made workshop.
