A community calendar item from InterCultural Interpretation Services:<\/p>\n

Interpreting agencies are starting to require interpreters to have formal training and usually will not hire interpreters unless they have a minimum of 40 hours of training.<\/p>\n

There is a demand now in Northeast Indiana for interpreters in all the languages, especially Spanish and Burmese, and this kind of a course helps prepare people to work as contractors. Also, many bi-lingual employees are being asked to interpret informally in doctors offices and hospitals and getting a 40 hour certification is very beneficial for them as well (legal liability issues).<\/p>\n

Application deadline is 3\/27\/2013.<\/p>\n

What<\/strong>: Medical Interpreter Workshop<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Friday, April 12, 2013 through Saturday, May 3, 2013 or September 13, 2013 through October 5, 2013<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong>: Interpreting is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing professions in the U.S.<\/p>\n

New Language Access laws make professional training and certification critical.<\/p>\n

A 40-hour training course is considered by many agencies to be the minimum educational threshold for interpreting.
\nThe Community Interpreters Workshop is the first and only national 40-hour certificate program in community interpreting.<\/p>\n
