Description:
While it's not for everyone, interpreting is often a welcome addition to a language career, and many successful interpreters started as translators. This webinar, aimed at those who are considering adding interpreting to their services offered, will cover how to get into this rewarding line of work. We will discuss the specialties in the field, skills needed, types of entry-level work, training and education, and certification. Attendees will be encouraged to complete a mini-analysis and start a plan to step into translation's "talkative cousin."
Attendees will be able to:
- identify the basic skills and knowledge of a professional interpreter
- understand the types of interpreting work for beginners
- start thinking about specialties to consider and training programs for each
