Legal Interpreter Training Program
In a facilitated community of learning, the Legal Interpreter Training (LIT) participants worked through a dynamic, interactive, and bilingual (ASL & English) online training curriculum. The curriculum provided a nine-month legal foundation needed for ASL/English interpreters in the legal specialty. The training included a structure and approach to talking about the work and supporting colleagues in their professional growth. The curriculum was broken down into modules that covered a wide range of topics, that resulted in a comprehensive training for program participants.
