Non-Profit Community Outreach
Technical Communicators provide a unique service to those companies who wish to participate in community outreach programs among academic, corporate, and non-profit organizations. As a technical communicator, Andrew offers skills and abilities in information design. He can effectively design and produce online and print materials to bring awareness to important issues. Through information design, technical communicators can also showcase the values and contributions of others within organizations. Through information design, the work of others can rise above the waves of information their colleagues may see every day. For example, a newsletter article about the accomplishments of employees in community outreach programs.
