Language project management: career change or stepping stone?

Language is ever evolving and so are the people who work in the profession. In this webinar, Lynn Everson, Founder and MD of Lifeline Language Services, will explore the multifaceted career path that Project Management offers.

  • Insights into daily work as Project Managers (including interpreting and multimedia projects)
