Resumen
Population ageing continues to perpetuate the widening of the generation gap in a world where the younger inexperienced yet “tech-savvier” novice trainee is trained by the elder professional albeit more conservative “expert” trainer. It is against this backdrop that Continuing Professional Development (CPD) finds more significance. We have argued that systematic CPD ought to be an integral component of any translator qualification programme. Based on this premise, we have defined qualification-oriented competence and CPD for translators and then proposed our preliminary five-stage CPD framework of reference for the translation profession which revolves around the core concepts of translation competence (TC), TC emergence, and reciprocal mentoring.
