I also understand the situation - not all that uncommon. Any company large
enough to be considered "blue chip" must have a training or education
department. It has been my experience that their projects entail a great
deal of various documentation (that's how I got into TW).
Offering your services to these people should be considered most welcome by
them. You might even find additional educational opportunities for
yourself in a related and potentially exciting path.
