<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">This special issue will present current best practices in formal and informal learning and training on professional writing and communication
in the workplace for technicians and other certified and licensed professionals. It will present interventions, case studies, and best practices to assist the learning process on the job and the professionals responsible for providing that teaching and training.
The issue can also include overviews and guidelines for organisational policies, politics, resources on professional writing for these workers.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">A survey of Skills, Technology, and Management Practices (STAMP) among 2304 participants found that almost everyone does some form of
reading and writing on the job across the upper and lower white and blue collar workforce (Handel, 2010). Professional writing and communication are also important for upward mobility in the blue collar workforce; it is essential for making petitions for work-life
balance, promotion, and other benefits (<span style="background:white">Bochantin & Cowan, 2016)</span>. <o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The literature in the field of workplace learning on professional writing and communication for technicians and other certified and
licensed professionals is nascent. For example, Sommer & Nja’s 2011 study of Norwegian firefighters’ learning process found factors that resemble school-based writing studies such as training, exercises, storytelling, personal experience, and embodied knowledge.
Other studies on the impact of learning on the job have found other important factors, such as mentorship efficacy, gender, and workplace safety, (Santos et. al, 2019; Sjöberg et. al, 2020; Yap & Choy, 2018). However, research on writing in
<i>JWL </i>dating back to the 1990s utilizes frameworks and methods that were popular yet controversial at the time, e.g., reading level and the Fog Index (Egan, 1998; Nale, Rauch, & Barr, 1998; Turner, 1992). Since then, these frameworks and methods have been
complemented and sometimes replaced with more holistic, mixed methods approaches to studying workplace writing (Moreno & Casasola, 2016). To date, technician workplace research and writing studies use common theoretical lenses, like activity theory (Engestrom
& Kerosuo, 2007; Ianeva, Vacherand-Revel, & Licoppe, 2017). However, these perspectives have not been combined to show how new workplace dynamics and technologies inform writing for certified and licensed professionals today. <o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">It is clear that writing is important in the workplace for certified and licensed professionals; however, more research is necessary
to uncover and recommend best practices, as it is for understanding how best to teach these professionals. This special issue proposes to advance research in this field by serving as a landmark collection of research in this emerging field. <o:p> </o:p></span></p>
