Participants of this development scheme organised by the Centre for Translation and Interpreting (CTI) will have a chance to take on a variety of activities to develop core competences and skills required for a lectureship and for a leading role in the language services industry. The participants will

· design and gain hands-on experience relevant to the translation and interpreting (T&I) industry;

· work in teams to curate articles, blogs, videos and other forms of content for topic-specific columns by leading teams to translate, trans-edit, or trans-create content from English into other languages;

· develop skills and professional (and personal) connections by organising and participating in training sessions, team-building events, and networking opportunities;

· develop teaching competences by designing and delivering developmental activities, and observing, reflecting on, and improving teaching practices and learning outcomes via the iterative design process;

· develop research competences by taking part in regular group discussion on the educational and T&I literature and how they inform the design of the developmental activities, and to, in turn, conduct research on one’s own teaching design, practices, and outcomes;

· nurture entrepreneurship by steering the evolvement of CTI Platform, designing new developmental and social activities for members, and regularly reflecting on and setting new goals for personal and collective progress;

· promote CTI and develop personal brands by creating quality content (via translation or copywriting) on CTI’s Information Hub (known as CTI Platform) and social media platforms.
