Delivering Interpreter Training to High School Students

Across the United States, there is a growing demand for trained community interpreters. At the same time, there is also a growing demand for workforce development opportunities for high school students, particularly for immigrant youth and/or English language learners. Delivering community interpreter training to multilingual high school students provides a strong and sustainable solution to both of these national demands. In this workshop, you will learn how your school/district can provide professional interpreter training to your high school students.
