The Government of Canada and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières are partnering to create a two-year specialized graduate diploma (DESS) in conference interpretation that will launch in the Fall. As part of this collaboration, Canada’s Translation Bureau will provide teaching support, workplace learning opportunities, and admission to its accreditation exam. “The DESS in conference interpretation aims to meet market needs, both in Québec and Canada,” explained UQTR Director of Undergraduate Translation Programs Éric Poirier. “The target audience includes future qualified conference interpreters. Among them are graduates in translation or individuals from other professional fields who wish to make it a career.”
