SUMMARY:Mastermind Program: Open for Applications
DESCRIPTION:Don’t go it alone! Translators and interpreters often go into business understanding that finding and retaining clients will be hard work. What many fail to see\, however\, is the difficulty in running a business alone and not always knowing what to do next. This is where ATA can help! \nATA’s Mastermind Program uses a peer-based mentoring approach offering a combination of brainstorming\, education\, and support. You will work together in small groups to share knowledge on specific topics and work collaboratively to achieve your learning goals. \nThe deadline to apply is February 28.
