Cyberscribe Solutions empowers language interns in recent hiring slump

(I-Newswire) August 12, 2009 - Internship programs are offered by international business schools to provide students with an opportunity to practice their English skills, which can range from rudimentary to quite advanced. For students with future plans to apply for residency in Canada, language programs ease barriers to immigration and finding work. This is especially relevant in light of the recent financial climate, where it is even difficult for native English speakers to find employment. Rampant hiring freezes, coupled with language barriers, create a discouraging situation for language students despite their eagerness and promise.

The ever-prominent trend in Canada has been the lack of accreditation for highly educated and skilled immigrants from other countries, leaving them with little options for work without facing a significant demotion in their career levels. Often, immigrants come to Canada in the hope of a superior standard of living only to find frustration as they struggle to have their education or notable work experience acknowledged.

Enter Annelies H�ussler-president of Cyberscribe Solutions and technical writer by trade-a savvy entrepreneur with a no-fuss attitude about getting things done. It is no coincidence that Annelies is leading these efforts. An immigrant herself, Annelies has first-hand experience of language barriers and how they impact professional development, as they did when her parents moved the family to Canada from Peru. Looking back at her own story, Annelies knows that with proper support systems in place, individuals can overcome these barriers. Cyberscribe is helping to reduce or minimize some of these barriers to the future by introducing interns to the many facets of professional communication.

Although technical writing is not familiar to everyone, it is all around us. Technical writing is a unique genre that conveys factual information with a specific audience and goal in mind. Typically, it involves explaining product or process details that help the reader accomplish a task. We see it in product manuals, user guides and the help systems for our computers and software. Although interns aren't expected to perform the specialized work of technical writers, they will leave Canada with first-hand knowledge of an industry that doesn't exist in many countries, along with an opportunity to add unique value to their professional endeavours in their chosen profession.

Recognizing the value of interns, Cyberscribe has had the pleasure of harnessing their energies in ways that utilize a cross-section of the individual's skills while providing them with practical professional experience. To date, 14 interns have enjoyed the opportunity of working with Cyberscribe, all able to legitimately claim international business experience. For many, the best take-away experience is that of having been given a chance to participate, achieve and succeed in an industry that focuses on communication and sharing ideas, while making new friends and bringing the world a little closer together.
