Employment Outlook<\/b><\/h2>\n

Employment growth will be driven by the continuing expansion of scientific and technical products and by growth in Web-based product support.<\/p>\n

Job opportunities, especially for applicants with technical skills, are expected to be good. The continuing expansion of scientific and technical products and growth in Web-based product support will drive employment demand for technical writers. Growth and change in the high-technology and electronics industries will result in a greater need for those who can write instruction manuals and communicate information clearly to users.<\/p>\n

Professional, scientific, and technical services firms are expected to continue to grow rapidly and should be a good source of new jobs even as the occupation finds acceptance in a broader range of industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","column_2":"

Internships & Volunteering<\/b><\/h2>\n
