Latin term or phrase: suscepturum esse
et munus publicum suscepturum esse
candace
will (is going to , is about to ) accept/undertake...
Explanation:
Dear Candace,

Suscepturum, which is a Future Active Participle, combined with infintive "ESSE", builds a periphrastic construction with a future/near meaning.

The usual translation should be:

"will"
"is going to"
"is about to"

suscepturum: suspicio (undertake, accept, receive, take up)...

I hope this helps.

Flavio

and is about to enter public service


Explanation:
As Flavio explains, the construction with "suscepturum esse" refers to the near future. "Suscipio" is literally something like "take up", but while "take up public service" is OK, I think we usually say "enter public service".
