Career Opportunities

Employment in interpreting varies with the market for interpreting in particular languages and domains. This diploma prepares interpreters for work typically in community and business domains such as general health, welfare and community services, non-complex disability assistance, educational and social contexts, initial police interviews, over-the-counter interviews in customer and community information services, tourism, and other informal business and workplace contexts where the consequences of errors in communicative intent can be readily managed.

The majority of interpreters are self-employed and are contracted on a sessional basis either directly or through interpreting service providers to work on interpreting assignments, but may find permanent employment in a specific sector such as education, government or health, or may work with a diverse range of clients and sectors. Interpreters may be contracted to work in a team.
