American Sign Language interpreters are highly skilled professionals, able to meet a broad range of language preferences, fluent in two languages, knowledgeable about two cultures and self-motivated individuals who enjoy variety in their lives.
All signs point to a healthy job market for interpreters.
Interpreters work in staff positions at schools, hospitals, corporations, social service agencies and in-patient treatment facilities or as independent contractors with freedom to select their work settings and hours. New focus areas in DeafBlind interpreting and interpreting in educational settings are being developed.
