- Due to popular demand, Road to Deaf Interpreting (RDI) is proud to introduce “Road to Deaf Interpreting Training Series" in Massachusetts for the second time! This is an interpreter preparation workshop series especially for Deaf people and will provide the same level of training offered to hearing interpreters but will be specifically adjusted to meet the needs of Deaf persons entering the Deaf interpreting field. The program is offered 10 weekends spread out over a year and half. At the end of this program, new interpreters should feel ready to enter the field as mentees and more experienced interpreters should feel more comfortable with their level of training and knowledge to begin doing more and varied kinds of interpreting.
The first training series will be held in the Worcester area on the weekend of March 27/28, 2010 and conclude summer of 2011.
RDI is now accepting applications, go to our new website: http://roadtodeafinterpreting..webs.com
The deadline for this application is February 7th, 2010.
If you have any questions, please contact us at: RoadtoDeafinterpreting@gmail.com
