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.

SKTL is here for its members. Feel free to pass on your suggestions or wishes. Contact us and become involved!
