Writing training for graduates and new starters
If you have just joined a government agency, the writing you are asked to produce will not look much like the writing you did before. Documents follow set structures, tone is more constrained than most people expect, and a draft usually passes through several people before it goes anywhere. This category covers the conventions and expectations first, so that everything you write afterwards starts from the right place.
