The NIU-STC Institute for Professional Development is offering Fundamentals of Technical Communication this Spring. Although the course is designed for people with little or no experience in the field, it often enrolls a wide range of participants, including workplace professionals. The course consists of seven Saturday workshops (9:00 am - 4:00 pm), each taught by an expert in the workshop topic. Participants also work with a mentor who is experienced in technical communication. Participants earn three hours of undergraduate or graduate credit through Northern Illinois University.
Note: Please continue reading the article for details about the schedule, Institute, and registration process.
