Om Podcasten

“Conversations” is the Professional Development division of All Graduates and as part of this PD initiative, we, at All Graduates have decided to launch a fortnightly podcast to complement our webinars and online courses. Every episode we will have a guest and have a conversation about current and hot topics related to the T and I industry as well as interpreting and translation-related challenges and strategies. Guests will vary from T&I practitioners across Australia to key figures in the industry as well as expert names in other fields of practice that are intertwined with the interpreting and translation industry. Each episode will be available via YouTube, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast and Spotify as well as the All Graduates website. The purpose of our podcasts is to aid the professional development of translators and interpreters in Australia by providing them with easy to access T and I related content and current affairs in a conversational format.
