The increasing diversity of the U.S. population, the growth in international trade, and even the booming Internet have created a strong demand for professional translators and interpreters. In fact, a 2010 report from the U.S. Department of Labor states that employment of linguists is projected to increase 24 percent over the 2006-16 decade—much faster than the average for other occupations.

There has never been a better time to explore your options as a translator or interpreter. Make plans to attend this free 60-minute webinar on November 16 to learn more.
