Employee interpreters receive paid training, benefits, support from coaches, and a community of interpreters working together.
Independent Contractors often speak a less common language, only work from their own homes, and make their own hours. However, independent contractors need professional experience, such as at least two of the following:
Interpretation experience
Professional certification and training
A two- to a four-year degree in interpretation
Higher education both in the United States and in programs taught in the other working language
Experience in relevant areas other than interpretation (e.g. healthcare)
