Learn Technical Writing for the oil & gas industry
We train driven Technical Writers on the skills, tools, best practices, expectations, and mindset required to be prepared for, and set up for success in, a higher-paying role in the oil & gas industry.
Jump Start
If you're looking for a "jump start" into a professional technical writing career, this self-paced, online training program will deliver what you need to know to be set up for success in a higher-paying role as a respected and valued professional.
Energy Ascension
The Energy Ascension program was designed to not only help you to obtain a higher-paying role in the oil & gas industry, but to make sure that you're set up for success in it (because getting hired is one thing - not getting eaten alive the first week is quite another).
Energy Ascension program members will be shown how to market their current skills as transferable (i.e., how they correlate to skills needed to work in the oil & gas industry), given strategies and actionable recommendations on ways to build the right experience for their resume (if it's lacking), and kept in the loop on the latest industry innovations to get ahead of now. Also, you may or may not be aware that “soft skills” are being emphasized now more than ever before, so Energy Ascension clients will receiving coaching on what those are and how to gain them if they're lacking (starting with how to tell if you have them or not). We will also remain available as a resource as clients begin their new roles and begin to face new challenges. See below for 10 additional, high-value benefits!
