The Interpreter Training Program (ITP) goes beyond teaching students about language, culture, and how to facilitate conversations. Our program philosophy of service takes hold the moment you begin. We work to develop well-rounded interpreters who value and consider others’ perspectives students who are culturally sensitive and empathetic practitioners who continually work to better themselves and the interpreting profession.We also work hard to ensure that graduates reach their career goals, and we pride ourselves on the success our former students have achieved through their work in our community. In a recent survey of the past five graduating classes, 80% of ITP graduates were working as interpreters and 76% reported finding work within three months of graduation. In general, the interpreting and translation field is growing much faster than other occupations, and ASL interpreters are especially sought-after.
