MFL Aspire+ Students Explore Careers in Translation

Our MFL Aspire+ students recently had the opportunity to hear from Helen Siwan Jones, an experienced translator with a background in French, German, and the sciences.

With over a decade of experience in the translation industry, Helen provided valuable insight into the world of professional translation and the wide range of career opportunities it offers. She discussed the skills required for success in the field and how languages can open doors to diverse industries, including science, law, and business.

Helen also shared examples of real translation projects she has worked on, giving students a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of the profession. Her talk inspired students to consider the many possibilities that language skills can offer beyond traditional pathways.
