SUMMARY:Finding Your First Translation and Interpreting Clients
DESCRIPTION:You know you can do this job\, but how do you get experience when no one wants to hire you without it.\nFinding your first translation or interpreting clients is both a challenge and an opportunity.

SUMMARY:Mastermind Program: Application Deadline

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.
