Grammar
Use of transition
Hi, I am confused over the use of “As a result”.
For example:
Multinational companies provides training opportunities for workers. As a result, workers are more competent as they are equipped with the necessary skills to do their jobs.
Is this the correct way of using “As a result”?
Is it acceptable for formal academic writing?
Cheers,

Hi jennifer, "As a result" is equivalent to " therefore" ,"so", "as a consequence" etc.. Your usage in the above sentence is correct and it can be used whenever you talk about the result of an action/doing. S: you've committed a common mistake.

P.S: you've committed a common mistake. it should be "Multinational companies provide.." and not "provides"..
