Career Planning in a Post-Pandemic World

STC is pleased to announce a two-day online seminar focused on your future career plans!

COVID-19 has disrupted where people work, how they work, and sometimes even why they work. The impact of the pandemic was immediate, sparking job loss, work from home, and career reconsiderations. From the Great Resignation to a very competitive candidate market to extensive layoffs, there have been massive swings in what’s happening in employment since early 2020.

However, these shifts have provided many opportunities for technical communicators.
Clear and relevant communication is more essential than ever, providing valuable information about healthcare, improving interactions across an increasingly remote workforce, and building trust with audiences.

Attendance at this two-day seminar provides 4 CEUs toward CPTC currency!

When: 3–4 October 2022
Times (both days):

Noon–12:45 PM ET
1:00–1:45 PM ET
2:00–2:45 PM ET
3:00–3:45 PM ET
4:00–4:45 PM ET
