Are you a native speaker of English? Are you studying EU languages? Maybe you’re interested in a career in languages but don’t know what options there are out there? If so, come and listen to a talk about one possible language career: conference interpreting.

European Commission staff will explain what conference interpretation is and discuss their own routes into the profession. They will talk about what qualifications and skills the role requires, what a typical working week entails, and answer any questions students may have.

The event is free and open to universities and senior phase language students in schools across the UK as the European Commission are keen to recruit English native speakers with a passion and talent for European languages.
