Analysis of job postings highlights the need for AI skills in technical communication education, suggesting curriculum updates.
This study analyzes 200 technical communication job postings from three U.S. cities to examine how employers define artificial intelligence (AI) competencies. Findings reveal increasing demand for AI familiarity, especially in content-focused roles and larger markets, though language describing AI skills remains inconsistent. Traditional skills remain essential. We conclude with recommendations for integrating AI instruction into technical communication curricula to better prepare students for a workplace shaped by emerging AI technologies.
