A2ZTranslate launches Pacifica language translation studies scholarship

The crew at A2ZTranslate Ltd. is pleased to announce that we will launch a scholarship in Pacifica language translation/interpreting studies in conjunction with Auckland University of Technology.

Over the years we have noticed that, while there is no lack of Pacifica translators and interpreters with the requisite Pacifica language skills, there is a need for professionally trained translators and interpreters with good skills in modern translation systems and software. While particular demand in Aotearoa is for English to/from Samoan are Tongan, this scholarship is open to all Pacifica language students.

A2ZTranslate will provide a scholarship from the 2016 academic year for a student in the Graduate Diploma in Arts (Translation) at AUT. The scholarship will be of $3000NZD per annum and open to any student who is studying the Diploma and fluent in any Pacifica language and English.

It is important to note that qualifications in translating/interpreting are not purely for someone who wishes to pursue a career as a translator/interpreter. This area of expertise is also a valuable asset for those wishing to enter the diplomatic corp, to work in international aid/NGOs, or within the Justice, Health or Social Services sector.

For further information please visit this AUT page. Please help to get the word out, we are really looking forward to getting behind a good student keen on pursuing this qualification.
