The oil and gas sector in Mexico and Latin America is expected to grow significantly in the next few years due to the new era of industrialization that Mexico will go through, which will generate a greater internal and external demand for fuels.
Therefore, the field of interpretation in the oil and gas and power generation sector, in general, will need more highly trained interpreters to provide services to this industry.
This Strategic Interpreting for the Energy Sector workshop is a unique opportunity for those who wish to enter this industry, which is one of the most demanding and best paid industries in the field of interpreting.
Challenges of this sector:
- Understand the processes of oil exploration, drilling, extraction, transportation, processing and refining to translate ideas correctly in another language.
- Understand the communication challenges in power generation contexts, where technicians and professionals with different levels of specialization, nationalities and cultures converge and where interpreters must make use of their sharpest interpreting skills while meeting the most demanding industrial safety requirements while performing their work.
- High terminology density and constant adaptation of language specificity to communicate between engineers and operators.
Our goal
ISETI's Interpretation for Oil Refineries and Platforms certificate trains interpreters to perform with excellence in the oil industry. Upon completion, attendees will master concepts, technical language, and interpreting skills in the context of oil refineries and platforms. The program addresses effective collaboration, ethical principles, administrative and personal protection requirements, among other key aspects of interpreting in this context, to prepare interpreters to excel in a very demanding environment.
Get ready for a hyper-specialized industry where there are very few professionals available!
