How To Work With Interpreters 

This half-day workshop is very popular! It offers a practical, skills-based introduction to working effectively with interpreters in a variety of settings. Whether you work in healthcare, schools or almost any community service today, this workshop will help you better serve Limited English Proficient (LEP) clients or patients. There is also a special focus on how to work with both qualified and untrained interpreters.

Participants will learn about:

  • Legal requirements for language access

  • Interpreting versus translation

  • Best practices for telephone and video interpreting

  • How to work with qualified and untrained interpreters

  • Working with bilingual staff versus contract interpreters

This in-depth, hands-on workshop opens eyes, builds skills and helps participants to understand that working effectively with an interpreter is key to providing services to LEP clients and patients.

And if you think interpreting is easy…we’ll show you just what it takes — and even give you a chance to try it out for yourself!
