Interpretation and Translation careers are projected to grow by 29%  between 2019 and 2029, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is a profession that your students want training for. It is also a profession in high demand, regardless of where you live.  There simply are not enough highly trained and qualified interpreters to meet the increasing demand. This has dramatically improved the salary outlook and employment opportunities since the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

There is a misconception that professional interpreters and translators just need to be bilingual. The fact is, there is a minimum level of bilingual fluency that interpreters must meet, and that is just the beginning.

Interpreters need specialized training, from understanding the complex US healthcare and insurance systems, to learning body systems, conditions, treatments, and equipment. Then, they need to learn interpreting skills and techniques, the codes of ethics, and standards of practice.  

After that base has been established, we focus on understanding the interpreter's legal responsibilities according to the law and regulatory mandates. We learn memory development,  cultural brokering skills, advocacy responsibilities and pitfalls, the national certification process, and more!
