A certificate in technical writing is not a must to enter this lucrative professional field. However, if you are considering a mid-career shift into technical writing or a young person just starting out, then a certificate from an established institution may indeed help in your job search and interviews. University of Massachussets at Lowell does have a certificate program that consists of 4 required and 2 elective courses. If you are enrolled in this program you become eligible for special internship opportunities and can also apply for the Society for Technical Communication (STC)’s scholarship programs. XML is the future of technical communications. If you are in your twenties today and seriously considering to have a career in technical communications, then you’d better learn it as fast as you can. With a firm knowledge of XML single-sourcing under your belt, you can command much higher salaries and better potions in the technical communication world. That’s why my first impression of the UM Lowell program is positive. It comes across as a program with its sights firmly set on the future of our profession.
