26 hours of interpreter training added to ProZ.com Plus membership
26 hours of interpreter training has been added to the basket of goods, services and resources available with the ProZ.com Plus membership subscription.
As discussed in this year's language services industry report, many interpreters are getting involved in translation. And even more translators are getting involved in interpreting.
In 2017, ProZ.com began, through its partnerships, providing direct paid work for those in the remote interpreting world. Support, project management, and payments are handled by the ProZ.com team in order to facilitate this work and to keep up the quality and consistency of the service provided. In 2022, the average earning from this single channel of work was 2,791 USD among those interpreters who were working. The ProZ.com team intends to increase that average while increasing the incoming work and the number of interpreters who are getting work.
