Imagine a two-day course covering the things you need to advance your career in technical communication—an in-depth, focused course taught by some of the most respected names in the field.

Now imagine that you have a choice of five such courses, each covering a different subject within technical communication. That's the STC Training Program—a new learning venue designed for today's professionals and scheduled for October 20-21.

The five two-day courses, described in detail at www.stc.org/training, cover the following subjects:

  • The Architecture of Content. Instructor: Jonathan Price, STC Fellow
  • Creating and Using Personas to Improve Usability. Instructor: Whitney Quesenbery, STC Associate Fellow
  • Focusing on Content: Making Web Sites Work for Users. Instructors: Janice (Ginny) Redish, STC Fellow, and Caroline Jarrett
  • Leadership in Information Management: Developing the Business Framework and Implementation Roadmap for Single Sourcing, Content Management, and Knowledge Management. Instructor: Benhong Rosaline (Roz) Tsai, STC Associate Fellow
  • XML: From Hand-Coding to WYSIWYG Authoring. Instructor: Neil Perlin, STC Associate Fellow
