Gwangyang City Recruiting Students for Interpreter Training Program

Check Announcements and Notices on the City Website and Apply by the 23rd

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gwangyang City announced on the 10th that it is recruiting students for the 'International Exchange Interpretation Specialist Training' course until the 23rd, targeting citizens with intermediate or higher foreign language skills to train elite interpreters needed for various international exchanges at both the city and private levels.

The training will be conducted over five months from next month until August, with both online and offline lectures depending on the COVID-19 situation.

The city will divide classes into English, Chinese, and integrated classes (languages other than English and Chinese), operating in a study group format under the guidance of professional instructors. The program includes ▲basic understanding of interpretation ▲improving interpretation skills through practical exercises ▲interactive interpretation education and training based on related content such as the history, culture, and current affairs of Gwangyang City and Korea.

Recruitment plans to enroll a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 20 students per language, but if the minimum number for a specific language is not met, the course will be canceled. Applicants should note that this is education and training for interpretation related to international exchange, not general language education.

Citizens wishing to enroll can download the application form from the city’s website under announcements or notices and submit it via email or apply in person. Since selection is on a first-come, first-served basis when language proficiency levels are similar, early application is advantageous.
