The Provincial Statistics Committee (PSC) of La Union held a two-day seminar-workshop entitled, "Virtual-Seminar Workshop on Technical Writing Course for Statistical Reports" on September 8-9, 2022 that aimed to equip the province's statistical workforce with the technical and operational requirements of statistical work, specifically in technical writing.

Dr. Jun S. Camara, Dean of Pangasinan State University College of Education, was invited as the resource speaker for the said seminar-workshop. Dr. Camara discussed the Introduction to Technical Reports; Introduction to Research Journal Writing; How to Write Statistical Reports; Basic Technical Writing Techniques; and Technical Writing using the American Psychological Association (APA) Format.  A workshop followed to check on the participants’ learnings of the topics discussed. 

The seminar-workshop supports one of the Provincial Statistical System's (PrSS) strategic thrusts – the enhancement of skills towards the increased technical capacity of human resources particularly those handling statistical work to respond to the current and emerging needs and demands.  Capacity building activities among these personnel involved in the compilation of statistics will contribute to better presentation of statistical reports.
