You’re a professional working in the court reporting industry. Whether you need continuing education credits or not, you endeavor to continuously learn and grow to ensure that you are the best professional you can be. After all, that’s how you build your brand to promote yourself and your services to clients and employers, isn’t it? But let’s get real for a minute. It’s often a struggle to find current, relevant educational opportunities to learn and develop as a court reporting professional in this rapidly changing environment.
Not only do you want to develop your skill set – whether that’s as a steno, digital, voice writer, legal transcriptionist, scopist, proofer, or videographer – but perhaps you also want to stay abreast of what’s going on in the court reporting community on a larger scale so that you’re able to manage your business well and make smart, informed choices about what’s best for you and your future in this industry.
Maybe you’re a firm owner who’s struggling to get your calendar covered and you want to learn more about how to strategically implement the use of digital reporting into your business. Maybe you’re a steno whose body is struggling to keep up with the harsh physical demands of writing on your machine day in and day out and you want to learn about transitioning to voice writing. Maybe you’re a digital reporter brand new to the industry and you want to learn from seasoned reporters how to be an expert at managing the room. Or maybe you’re a proofreader who wants to network with scopists and reporters across the country to broaden your opportunities.
