SKTL is here for its members
Translators and interpreters operate variously as entrepreneurs and employees. As self-employment is increasingly common in the profession, we are very familiar with questions concerning entrepreneurship.
We offer our members detailed and profound information and training, as well as a community of professionals that makes up the primary networking forum for translators and interpreters in Finland. Our five sections and the local branches in Turku, Tampere and Vaasa organise a variety of informative events each year.
