Enrichment day for AS level students of French, Spanish and German

This event will focus on translator training and recruitment from the employers’ viewpoint. Employers, whether operating in a global, regional or local context, will play a decisive role in the way languages and translation are promoted in the future. Engagement with employers has been a key aspect of the National Network for Translation over the past three years, and this event aims to provide a forum for debating the skills and competences employers need and expect from translators.
