Career Transitions in Technical Communication

with Curator CJ Walker

Join us as CJ Walker, our June curator, provides insight and guidance on career transitions in Technical Communications.

What will content development be like in 10-20 years? What will change? What do you need to learn and do to stay relevant?

This month's Roundtable focuses on career transitions. Our curator, CJ Walker will explore the answers to these questions and more:

  • What can you do with your existing technical communication skills to move your career forward?
  • What are your options either within the field or transitioning into another one using the skills you have in your portfolio?
  • How do you leverage the skills you have?
  • What new skills do you need to acquire to fill the gaps?
  • And where is technical communication going in the new age of AI?

It’s going to be a busy month!
