Coyle  \nUniversity of Windsor  \nThe ability to write well is often critical for effective work performance. Although basic writing courses provide a foundation for college and university students, discipline-specific writing tasks and methods are frequently learned indirectly. Incorporating occupational writing skills in course curriculum better prepares students for future employment. This paper suggests a three-step process for teaching pertinent writing skills in college and university courses: identify writing skills relevant to post-graduation occupations, include writing in course learning modules, and assess writing skills with assignments that mirror workplace writing tasks. Balancing curricular learning with these workplace needs is an ongoing challenge for instructors.  \nEmployers Seek Effective Writers  \nSubstandard writing skills have been noticed  \nin schools and workplaces across disciplines. Writing courses and writing centre programs can teach students about grammar and composition, and library orientations help students effectively locate source material for papers and projects. However, writing skills, which are often related to specific disciplines or professions, are learned indirectly. Coursework that prepares students for future careers tends to focus on the curriculum content rather than the writing skills students use to present that content. Yet writing ability is often vital for effective work performance, thus demon-  \nstrating writing skills that are relevant to future employment is an essential learning outcome for higher education curriculum.  \nMany employers are alarmed about poor writing skills in new employees and have asked business schools to increase emphasis on writing (Quible & Griffin, 2007) . Haberstroh (1994) reported similar concerns in public relations companies, and Alter and Adkins (2001) discovered that up to one-third of graduate social work students had inadequate writing skills yet many did not use available writing assistance programs. These studies made a number of recommendations for higher education, including  \nrequired writing courses, increased assessment of student writing, and consultations with employers that provide examples of desired writing skills (Haberstroh, 1994) . Additionally, schools are assessing methods for writing instruction (Quible & Griffin, 2007; Wolff, 1996) and are recommending ways to continue writing instruction after foundational English composition courses (Alter & Adkins, 2006) .  \nThese suggestions form the basis for a threestep plan for enhancing writing skills that improve competency in future employment. First, identify the discipline-specific writing skills that are needed in the workplace. Second, develop learning modules that cultivate those writing skills. Third, design course assignments that assess students’ ability to compose documents that are commonly produced in the workplace.  \nIdentifying Workplace Writing Skills  \nProficient school papers are unlike most writing required in a professional work setting. Academic writing assignments often focus on testing knowledge. They require defining concepts or terms and supporting statements with references to professional literature. In comparison, workplace writing is more likely to describe or analyze situations without openly explaining the knowledge base or citing sources. It assumes that readers are familiar with basic terms and concepts. Workplace writing is usually more about communicating or documenting ideas rather than demonstrating competence (Beaufort, 1998) . Therefore, students benefit from seeing examples of writing in their chosen occupations.  \nWhile practical writing skills may vary across disciplines, all workplace writing composes a message appropriate for an intended audience (White, 1997) . Two aspects often define this writing: types of documents and the writing styles used to cr","cbCaioJNBzKzFGlK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioJNBzKzFGlK","pdf",464984,"English","# Employers Seek Effective Writers\n## Identifying Workplace Writing Skills\n## Creating Learning Modules That Include Writing Skills\n## Designing Workplace-Style Assignments","[{\"question\":\"Why are writing skills important for future employment?\",\"answer\":\"Effective work performance often depends on the ability to write well.
