Helping you launch your career
Coaching program
The OTTIAQ coaching program is designed to help tomorrow’s language professionals:
- Learn the standards, rules, tools and responsibilities of the profession
- Apply what they learned at university to a professional context
- Benefit from the advice and supervision of an experienced OTTIAQ member who can help them achieve their goals
The program is supervised by OTTIAQ and takes place over three months.
For a translation coaching program, you’ll need to translate a minimum of 12,000 words and submit your work to your coach. Please note that you must meet the minimum word count. If you don’t have enough material to translate, OTTIAQ can provide you with some.
For a terminology coaching program, you’ll need to perform ad hoc research on 15 terms and create a full terminological record for each. You’ll also need to complete two term analyses, a subject-field tree, and a glossary of 30 terms.
Your coach will evaluate your work and meet with you three times during your program to discuss it. You’re expected to be proactive and take the initiative to get the most out of your coaching program, including asking questions, conducting research, taking notes, being observant, and asking for feedback from your coach.
The coaching program is flexible and can be adjusted to meet your needs. Contact us for more information.
The coaching program costs $535 plus tax.
