Overview of the webinar

Technical Writing in an Industrial Environment differs from general correspondence in that it is written for a specific audience. It is a balancing act between being precise enough to cover the subject matter yet general enough to apply to other locations and/or projects. Technical Writing in an Industrial Environment often consists of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and reports but may apply to any documentation written for a restricted group. It always includes reviewers and approvers of different expertise in the subject matter. Technical Writing in an Industrial Environment generally involves the conversion of highly technical material into language easily understood by the general public.
