As a conference interpreter with vast knowledge and worldwide experience, Mário set out a goal with the creation of AP Academy that's still applicable today: attract the best talent in a professional field with an enormous future, and keep them.

This is currently also a project that relies on the critical eye and supervision of Eugénio Rodrigues, our Head of Human Resources, who is also a Basketball coach with experience in several countries, as well as a national champion and winner of the Taça de Portugal.

 

And finally, AP Academy is nothing without the enthusiasm and commitment of all who work for AP Portugal - Tech Language Solutions motivated by that same passion for the world of language and tech services.

Over a six month internship - whether in-house in Porto, or remotely from Lisbon or anywhere else in the world, Luanda, Maputo, Madrid, Brussels, Paris, Rome, London - not only will you become the talent we aim to attract, but also the brilliant translation professional that we hope to keep in the stimulating world of translation.

You decide when you want to start your internship, AP Academy will offer you a wide range of internship options.

· Mentoring: the passion and the commitment of AP Academy

AP Academy's mission is suited for all those who want to strengthen their skills in the field of translation and gain real work experience before deciding what career path they want to follow. 

Over the course of six months you will be accompanied on this journey by mentors, just another tool to help with your professional development, where someone with experience helps someone with less experience.

 

   At AP Academy we have four types of internship to choose from:

 

• Curricular Internship: tailored to your university programme, an excellent way to stand out in a competitive job market;

• Volunteering Placement: These internships are suitable for those who've already finished their degree and aim to take their first step into the professional world of translation; 

• Remote Internship: similar to the volunteering placements, except these can be done remotely, from anywhere that you can access the internet;

• Professional Internship: this is an opportunity to become a part of AP Portugal Tech Language Solutions' Career Progression System starting your professional career as an in-house employee, through an IEFP professional internship, or a freelancer.

Choosing AP Academy is also an opportunity to do a professional internship in translation with walking distance from Porto; only the Douro river separates AP Portugal's head office from the city that was elected Europe's Best Destination three times.
Difficult to find better scenery!

Situated in the cultural and historical centre of Vila Nova de Gaia, walking distance from the Metro stations, you will be working in an optimal location to not only get to Porto, but also General Torres train station, and even the Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, around 20 minutes away.
