Obtaining NAATI certification or recognition is an important milestone, but what comes next? How do you transition from certification to a thriving career as a practising translator or interpreter? Join us for a dynamic panel discussion designed to bridge that gap by offering practical advice, shared experiences, and actionable insights from both seasoned professionals and newer practitioners in the T/I field. Topics covered will include:
- The types of T/I work they engage in and their career duration.
- Their path into the T/I profession and early career challenges.
- Key learnings and insights they wish they had known when starting out.
- How their practices have evolved over time, including exploring niche markets or specialising in certain areas.
After the panel presentations, there will be a dedicated Q&A session where both in-person and remote participants can engage with the panellists, ask questions, and discuss any related topics.
This event is ideal for both aspiring and practising translators and interpreters looking to deepen their understanding of the profession and develop tools to advance their career.
Don’t miss this chance to connect with fellow professionals and gain practical knowledge that can help you navigate your T/I career!
The panellists will be:
- Thomas McConochie, translator Mandarin > English
- George Shaw, translator Russian > English, formerly interpreter Russian <> English
- Kristina Wolf, translator & conference interpreter, German <> English (formerly German <> Spanish)
- Elena Yudina, interpreter Ukrainian <> English and Russian <> English
- Adam Young, interpreter Mandarin <> English
This webinar is a joint event between the ACT and NSW Branches and follows on from their respective Annual General Meetings. Participation for ACT registrants is in-person at Canberra YWCA, Level 3, 71 Northbourne Ave, Canberra; participation for NSW registrants is online.
