Cybersecurity skills are in high demand, yet in short supply. Professionals from many disciplines are moving into this field.
Learn about what’s happening in cybersecurity and how technical communicators can apply skills that we already have to contribute to global cybersecurity.
This presentation will cover:
- A brief overview of cybersecurity
- Employment statistics
- Jobs that can use technical communication skills
- Certifications
- Security clearances
- Sources for more information that will help build your confidence to step into the field
Explaining complex things simply is complicated. Technical communicators know how to make complex information accessible to every type of audience. Cybersecurity needs our expertise now.
Join us at 6 p.m. March 14 at Highlands Country Club 110 Hiller Dr, Oakland, CA 94618.
Remember to buy tickets.
