If there’s one skill that consistently shapes early career success, it’s the ability to write clearly in a professional setting. Universities know this, employers know this, and graduates quickly learn it the moment they step into the workplace. Academic writing still has its place, of course, but employers are drawing a sharper line than ever between scholarly writing and workplace‑ready messaging. Graduates who can bridge that gap walk into their first roles with a real advantage.

When students graduate, employers assume they’re ready to communicate clearly in writing, in meetings, and in day‑to‑day professional exchanges. But the reality is that many graduates leave university without the business writing skills they need to thrive. Academic writing has its place, but it doesn’t always prepare students for the fast, practical, audience‑focused writing required in the workplace. And that gap isn’t just inconvenient. It’s expensive — for graduates, for employers, and even for the universities that send them into the workforce.
