India-Boston Mentoring Program

Our chapter and the STC Boston chapter have signed up for a mentoring relationship. This initiative is an integral part of our core mentoring program, which will be announced shortly.

Currently, the mentoring program team has three members: Vasudha
Rangarajan from EMC, Venkat Iyer (Education manager), and Gururaj B.S.

The focus of the mentoring will be on:

Advanced technical communication topics
How to run a chapter - sharing best practices and processes

Goals of the India-Boston mentoring program:

Foster STC's international growth by supporting the India chapter as it establishes itself.
Contribute to advancing the state of the art of technical communication by sharing expertise on advanced topics, such as single-sourcing, internationalization, etc.
Stimulate the STC-Boston and India chapters' leadership to closely examine their current practices as part of the process of sharing best practices and information between the two chapters.
Document a case study of an international mentoring relationship.
