TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

1. How many of you get paid training at all?
I get unlimited internal training classes, $6,000 per year in education
assistance, and an occasional conference.
2. How many of you have either a limit on number of times or money?
Money for graduate classes is limited to $6,000 per year. Conferences are
budgeted at two per year for our entire group of 7 full-time captives. I
went to one, so it probably won't be my turn again for a long time, if ever.
3. How many of you could get paid time off to speak?
I'm pretty sure I could get it if I asked.
4. Have you ever tried to negotiate the policy either at hiring or review
time?
No.
5. Do you perceive a difference in policy between the technical
communicators and other groups?
No.
