Writing and Preparing Effective Government Proposals
There are two kinds of technical communicators: those who have written proposals and those who will. Most people's first experience with proposal development is harrowing, but it doesn't have to be. We dive deep into the fundamentals of responding to US Federal Requests for Proposal (RFPs), building on what you already know as a technical communicator.
The goal of the webinar: to walk into a proposal at any stage and know what to do. Join us as we explore the different phases of proposal writing, and how writing proposals fits into the broader business development lifecycle. We will discuss the fundamentals of government acquisition and all proposal development phases: kickoff, pink team, red team, and delivery. Along the way, we will propose how you can use your skills as a technical communicator in the proposal management space.

I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?
STC rotates its courses every year as we try to offer the most popular ones within the first half of the year. Online courses are subject to change or are offered more than once per quarter. If a course is not listed, STC will offer it again in the following year.
