About this event
Intro to Business Communication is the 9th-10th grade entry point to the communication events. It keeps the focus on the fundamentals: grammar and punctuation, professional email etiquette, business letter format, and general workplace professionalism. It builds the foundation that the full Business Communication event then expands into reports, tone, and heavier editing.
