Technical writing newsletter 7: September 2004
Training development
Training (www.techscribe.co.uk/techw/courses.htm) is one service from TechScribe. We recently won a contract to deliver an author training course to a multinational transportation company. The authoring course is designed to help aircraft engineers who write work instructions.
Community involvement
Mike Unwalla was recently re-elected as Director of the Sheffield Business Club (www.sheffieldbc.co.uk). During his first term of office, he helped to re-establish the Marketplace—a business-to-business email marketing system.
