Few people that can write and do so with confidence understand the difficulties a person faces who cannot write with ease. Writing skills development forms an important part of ABET programs to help adults develop their writing skills to a level where they will not only be able to put their name or signature on paper, but will also be able to communicate through letters and other forms of written communication. Once an employee has developed the basic writing skills they will be able to communicate instructions on paper to others, will be able to acknowledge information received on paper and will for instance, also be able to apply for a job or higher position because they can write. Although it may not seem like a great deal, an employee that can write is an asset and as such companies are encouraged to identify possible candidates that will benefit from writing skills development.
