Trades Access Common Core Line B: Use Interpersonal Communication Skills
Camosun College · BC Campus
No matter what your job is, you will need to communicate with other people. Your communication skills determine how successfully you receive and transmit information. Communication is arguably the most important of all life skills and plays a significant role in all aspects of work and home life. Communication is verbal, written, and non-verbal, and every gesture, voice inflection, or facial movement speaks volumes and conveys information to others.

Writing for Success
Rebecca Weaver Ed. · Georgia State University
Writing well is difficult, we get it. It's hard to put your thoughts into text, but it is essential to success, not only in school but in life. Communication is essential in every career field. To know something is great, but it doesn't help anyone but you, until you can share that knowledge with others. That is the essence of communication.
