NETWORKING
The ASTC promotes networking in many ways although these have changed since the advent of COVID-19. Our annual conference is the main networking event, but we also have formal and informal meet-ups conducted via Zoom. Technical communicators often work alone, or maybe in a small team. Our networking allows for support and sharing of information and ideas, and to meet other people in similar roles. Check out our LinkedIn and Facebook pages.
EDUCATION
The ASTC supports professional development through education and learning to keep up with changes in the way we work and the tools we use.
We are always looking for new opportunities for members and non-members to update or advance our knowledge and skills.
Training delivery has changed dramatically and now allows access to content both locally and globally.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
ASTC members can elect to receive our Job Opportunity emails. We publish details of jobs we hear about. If you are thinking of making a change, constantly looking for new challenges or just curious about what’s out there, why not subscribe? It’s free to our members, and to employers and agents alike.
If you hear of a technical writer job going, let us know via our contact us page and we’ll advertise it.
PARTNERSHIPS
We have agreements with related associations in Australasia and other regions around the world.
Through this we open career doors for our members and provide resources and services at member rates.
