Abstract:

There is a substantial market for technical communicators in the field of occupationally-based curriculum development. Both educational institutions and in-house industry training programs create instructional materials for preparing new workers and upgrading the skills of incumbent workers. Technical communicators with the right skills and experience can increase their earnings and expand their job horizons by joining this educational market. This workshop acquaints participants with the curriculum-writing market and its requirements and gives them an opportunity to develop an Action Plan for breaking into the freelance market or for expanding their opportunities in their workplace.
