Testimonials

“The program combines theory and practice in small, focused classes.”

“The Technical Writer program has taught me the skills and tools that I need to apply for jobs in many diverse areas of technology. The program combines theory and practice in small, focused classes where camaraderie and mutual support make it all seem easy. The professors provide high-quality instruction and direction that not only helps me succeed, but will also place me in a challenging and rewarding internship as part of my graduation.”

“The skills I acquired enabled me to hit the ground running.”

“The skills and knowledge I acquired enabled me to hit the ground running when I accepted a placement at a large software company. The experience I gained during my placement led to a contract, which led to another contract, which led to a full-time position at a company that designs air traffic control systems. The Technical Writing program at Algonquin College provided me with the ability to embark on a rewarding and fulfilling career.”

“I love what I do.”

“The Technical Writer course at Algonquin gave me a broad base of the core skills and rhetorical foundation for writing about just about anything. The exposure to technologies through the course work and the students working through other programs has allowed me to have a toehold into pretty much everything I’ve been asked to do since. There was room to learn how to deal with others professionally and personally. All of this has made my 20 years in the industry both productive and enjoyable. I still love what I do. What other industry would provide the opportunity to work on sales force management software one year and ultrasound equipment in another?”
