The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Follow ethical codes that protect the confidentiality of information.

  2. 2

    Translate messages simultaneously or consecutively into specified languages, orally or by using hand signs, maintaining message content, context, and style as much as possible.

  3. 3

    Listen to speakers' statements to determine meanings and to prepare translations, using electronic listening systems as necessary.
