3 reasons to work with the AITC

AITC is not an employment agency and gives no undertaking to provide its members with work or to find them permanent positions.

AITC publishes a professional code. As in all the liberal professions, the members of AITC need to be able to refer to an ethical code that defines their rights and duties, which are inseparable from each other.

AITC publishes a Directory which it sends free of charge to the members of the Association, and to some 400 employers. It provides all relevant information about the members (name, permanent address, professional domicile, mother tongue and working languages, functions, willingness to accept work to be done at home). For the members, the Directory is an excellent way of making themselves known and provides a practical means of finding the details of all their colleagues.

The Pension Fund for Conference Interpreters and Translators (CPIT) is a foundation under Swiss law managed by a Foundation Council of fellow translators and interpreters that works closely with Swiss actuaries and financial institutions. It is open to language professionals of all nationalities who can prove that they are working in a language-related profession (e.g. interpreter, translator, editor, précis-writer, proofreader) on the day they join.
