초록
Professional development has become standard practice for many occupational groups. While for some it may be a matter of individual choice, there are often a number of factors and entities that have a stake in the provision of or need for professional development, e.g. professional associations, industry regulatory bodies, training providers, consumer groups, employer representative groups and even governmental authorities. This paper employs the term ‘player’ as a generic term to encompass these different interest groups. This paper then examines the place that professional development has amongst organisations that certify, credential or register interpreters and/or translators to practise professionally. Based on a sample of 12 organisations, we find that five of them have professional development as a requirement for continuing practice, for four organisations it is voluntary and for three there is insufficient information. Comparison shows that the player role of professional association is supportive of professional development, but the most decisive factors were non-involvement as a provider and specific country. Further, we focus on Australia where the major player recently introduced mandatory professional development. Here, we report high rates of uptake not only amongst those who are certified, but also amongst those who are not. (Monash University, Australia; Swinburne University, Australia)
Abstract
Professional development has become standard practice for many occupational groups.

This paper employs the term ‘player’ as a generic term to encompass these different interest groups. This paper then examines the place that professional development has amongst organisations that certify, credential or register interpreters and/or translators to practise professionally. Based on a sample of 12 organisations, we find that five of them have professional development as a requirement for continuing practice, for four organisations it is voluntary and for three there is insufficient information.
