Graduate Junior Translator Scheme
Who are we? We are a boutique translation agency based in Newquay, Cornwall in Southwest England. We specialise in marketing and corporate translation in German, French, English and Dutch. With a dedicated team of in-house translators and project managers who are native speakers of the languages they manage, complemented by a solid network of over 120 top-notch translators, we offer an extensive range of services including translation, copywriting, multilingual social media management and international SEO.
What is the Graduate Junior Translator Scheme? Here at AJT we love to support recent translation graduates as they embark upon their journey into the translation market. That’s why we are one of the few translation agencies to offer a Junior Translator Scheme, where we employ recent graduates, with little or no professional translation experience, and give them their first break. We work closely with them and support them in every aspect of being a professional translator, working on real projects for some of the world’s best know brands. We recognise that, in this industry, gaining translation experience is paramount, and strongly believe that graduate translators should be fairly rewarded and supported in their work from the outset.
