Where a technical communicator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a technical communicator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Technical communicators prepare clear, concise and professional communication from product developers to users of the products such as online help, user manuals, white papers, specifications and industrial videos. For this, they analyse products, legal requirements, markets, customers and users. They develop information and media concepts, standards, structures and software tool support. They plan the content creation and media production processes, develop written, graphical, video or other contents, generate media output, release their information products and receive feedback from the users.
