You may or may not have interpreted before. Regardless of your previous experience, we offer an introductory orientation training for all new Culture Connect, Inc. interpreters.
We will provide you with tools and tips so you can be a professional interpreter. In addition, we would like to give you an opportunity to ask questions about interpreting and related issues. Furthermore, it just is a great chance for you to meet us and other interpreters.
This orientation training will be very interesting. Some of the topics of this session are:
- The legal framework for the protection of LEP (Limited English Proficiency) clients/patients’ rights
- How to conduct a pre-conference
- How to interpret in first person
- When to advocate for a client/patient
- Your role(s) as an interpreter
In addition, we will test your language & interpreting skills.
Please contact us to sign up for this training.
