The Residency is built around learning in cohorts of 2-3 consultants-in-training with real translation teams on real projects, under the supervision of a mentoring consultant. These opportunities occur up to four times per year, and are supplemented by other training, both informal and formal, as needed, based on each resident’s need for development in the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to fulfill the role of translation consultant. The expected duration of the Residency program is approximately three years, with more or less time required based on each resident’s individual development plan needs.
The Residency uses the Competency-Based Certification approach, widely implemented across the global Bible translation movement. The required competencies are detailed here: https://bibletranslationcompetencies.org/.
The residency program is educationally dense, includes travel and hands-on training opportunities, and requires a full-time commitment to be successfully completed. Residents should expect to study outside of regular working hours.
Residents are paid an annual salary for this full-time position. If the Resident is not based in the US, Seed Company will compensate based on the equivalent salary for the same position in the resident’s country. The program also pays for all travel and training expenses and provides required equipment (e.g., laptop) for each resident.
Between trips to work with translation teams and mentoring translation consultants, training opportunities, and other events included in the program, residents will have to travel about 12 weeks per year in total.
Seed Company values unity and healthy relationships between residents and their families; however, resources are allocated specifically to residents only and will not be used to bring family to training or travel.
Yes. Residents can work from their country of residence. Residency participants can work in the United States if they are permanent residents (green card holders) or have a work permit.
Seed Company will hire through a third-party international organization (e.g., Globalization Partners).
No. Being a 501c3 nonprofit, Seed Company is legally prohibited from sponsoring a work visa. Residents may work from their country of residence.
Working remotely is an option if residents can remain well-connected with the other members of their cohort and program administrative staff.
Seed Company desires everyone to successfully pursue their God-given call. Each year, the program will offer opportunities for both the resident and Seed Company leadership to determine whether the resident should continue in the program.
