Stage 1: Learning the ropes
Once you have successfully made it through the initial testing phase, we will begin by sending you your first live projects so that you can get to grips with all the tricks of the trade. You will be guided through this process every step of the way by an experienced Milengo project manager, who will remain your main point of contact throughout the project. As a junior translator for our company, you will have the unique advantage of receiving regular feedback and helpful tips from our senior translators to help you learn and gradually develop your translation skills.
What’s more, you’ll be paid a competitive hourly rate and enjoy very flexible working hours.
Duration: Approx. 40 project hours
Stage 2: Gaining further experience
In your next phase as junior translator, you will continue to work on project updates, but we will now place more trust in you and monitor you less closely. We will, of course, continue to provide support, along with tips and tricks to help you improve even further while you’re busy learning how to work more independently and how to best apply the knowledge you acquired in the first stage of your training. This stage is designed to boost your confidence as a translator, so that you can truly unleash your talents and sharpen your expertise.
Duration: Approx. 40 project hours
Stage 3: Moving up the ranks
Up until this point, you have been honing your translation skills by working on projects and updates for “your” client, so that you are now considered to be an established linguist for that customer.
If your results and feedback have been great up to this point and you would like to try your hand at something new, you will be invited to take part in more demanding projects for other clients. Once again, you will work under the close supervision of our senior translators, who will give you detailed feedback to help you master this new subject area.
Once you’ve gained some experience with more complex content, you will be ready to graduate from the Academy. You’ll be offered a pay raise of 20 percent and earn the status of intermediate translator, opening the door to an even wider range of fascinating projects for an even more varied range of clients. By completing this stage, you will be well on your way to becoming a bona fide professional translator!
Duration: At least 40 project hours
