Training the Trainers Amongst Us  

The Education and Research Professional Interest Committee is sponsoring this day-long Train-the-Trainers post-conference workshop in response to the increasing emphasis that business and government are placing on lifelong learning and continuing education. The workshop explores the natural affinities that exist between the disciplines of adult education and technical communication, and offers technical communicators a unique professional development opportunity. The workshop demonstrates, through a mix of lecture, questionanswer sessions, and small group activities, that technical communicators can derive specific, tangible benefits from a grounding in the theory and practice of adult education.
