"The PEC was instrumental in designing a writing course specifically tailored for the Hyundai America Technical Center.

Our consultant and instructor spent weeks learning about our work environment, speaking with our leadership team, researching and incorporating international writing skills into the course; all of which were critical to successfully incorporating our business needs in to the writing course.

The time and dedication of the PEC staff was greatly appreciated."
