Call for Volunteers

This year, one of STC India’s initiatives is to promote STC and the profession of technical communication in colleges, universities, and other relevant institutes. The idea is to hold sessions on “A Career in Technical Communication” at various institutes throughout India.

Like most STC activities, this initiative too will be driven by volunteers.

Each volunteer or a group of volunteers would need to contact a college, university department, or institute and work with them to set up a 1-2 hours session. The volunteers will also need to conduct the session.

We (STC India) will provide the PowerPoint deck and other guidelines for the session. We will also provide posters that the institute could use to announce and publicise the session.

Volunteers should preferably have at least 5 years of experience in technical communication and should be confident of speaking in public. While the PowerPoint slides will set the broad outline for the session, speakers would be able to add value to the session from their own experiences.

If you are interested in this initiative, please write to me (fred at stc-india dot org). Do mention the specific institute you want to target (your alma mater would be a good place to start).

I understand that some of you may already be conducting such sessions at various institutes on your own. We would be happy to support you if you want to continue hosting such sessions under the STC India aegis.

You need not be an STC member to support this activity.


Thanks,
Frederick Menezes
