Mentoring Committee

Committee Objective

Mentoring is a process where an experienced individual provides support, guidance, and assistance to a less experienced individual. The Mentoring Committee was established to develop and implement a program to train ATA members as mentors and mentees in an enhanced, informal mentoring relationship.

The Mentoring Committee is asked to do the following:

• establish a program for ATA members that offers mentoring opportunities to new translators and interpreters;
• provide orientation and training workshops to assist mentors and mentees in the mentoring process; and
• promote mentoring within ATA as a means to building the profession and strengthening the Association.
