STCC to offer medical interpreter course |
|
May 7, 2012
SPRINGFIELD — The need for medical and community interpreters is rapidly increasing, and so is the demand for trained professionals in the field.
The Continuing Education and Workforce Development office at Springfield Technical Community College will offer a nine-week certificate program designed to prepare individuals for an entry level career as a medical and community interpreter.
This program, developed and offered in collaboration with TransFluenci, a regional leader in translation and interpretation services, will prepare new and experienced interpreters to work in hospitals, health clinics, law offices, governmental agencies, and more, following the standards and ethics of the profession.
This program begins May 18 and is open to all languages, but students must be able to fully comprehend and communicate in both English and at least one other language. Because a selective interview is required before acceptance, students must register well in advance.
The college will issue the Medical and Community Interpreting Certificate upon satisfactory completion of this program and participants receiving the certificate will be given the opportunity to interview with TransFluenci for potential employment as interpreters.
Space is limited and applications are now being accepted. Interested individuals can get complete details at www.stcc.edu/wd or by calling 755-4225.
