India's First Professional Diploma in Technical Communication
TWB Launches Post Graduate Program with Internship and Placement Built in
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, December 24, 2008 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Writers Block (TWB) has announced the launch of India's first professional post graduate course in Technical Communications. The program is in response to the growing need for quality Technical Communicators by the industry, since technology reliance and quality of communication are key factors driving any business today.

The program is a one year course and is divided into three semesters. There are only 25 seats for the PGDTC program and TWB provides assured job letters on admission for a minimum salary of Rs.3.8 lakhs p.a. The admission is through a written test and a personal interview. This is the first of its kind diploma program in the country and has a strong accent on industry internships and placements. More information about the course can be found at http://twb.edu.in/.
According to estimates, there is an industry demand for over a 1,00,000 Technical Communication professionals.
