Why a Professional Communications Degree Might be for You


 I have always been indecisive about what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I turned my passion for writing into a career with a Professional Communications degree at Chippewa Valley Technical College. This program provided me with experience and growth opportunities to master technical and business writing skills while helping me build confidence to enter the job market. 

The coursework provided knowledge in the processes of technical and professional communication, emphasizing the application of principles and problem-solving strategies to an array of assignments central to the work of career writers in the workplace. When it was all said and done, there was no shortage of content for my resume. 

Marketable Resume Skills:
  • Document Design in Word 
  • Documentation Development 
  • Publishing in Print and Electronic Media Rhetoric
  • Writing and Digital Literacy Theories 
  • Digital Content Writing 
  • Digital Media Platforms and Social Communities 
  • Technical Reporting 
  • Grant Writing and Business Presentations 

I was able to finish this program in two years because its online nature was the perfect combination of flexibility and convenience that complimented my work schedule and busy life. This degree offers mobility in terms of different career paths like business, government, or non-profit organizations; I have been empowered with the opportunity to follow my heart.
