Description: 

Professionalism is one of the nine NCIHC standards, yet trainers do not always address it. In this panel presentation, three seasoned trainers will discuss the standard and how you can train interpreters to go beyond its scope to succeed in business. Whether your students become independent contractors or staff interpreters, you can teach them how to be true professionals. This webinar will discuss best practices for following the NCIHC standard, diving into topics such as effective resume/bio writing, invoicing, timeliness, performance quality, social media and communication, professional associations, certification, and building relationships. Working conditions, knowing one’s worth, preparation techniques, apps and web-based resources, and client/employer expectations will also be presented. By introducing your students to the world of business, they will join the ranks of successful and fulfilled professionals who can navigate the ever-changing market conditions in healthcare interpreting.

By the end of this webinar, interpreter trainers will be better equipped to:
 
1) Teach strategies and introduce tools for interpreters to become successful professionals;
2) Define and apply the national standard of professionalism;
3) Leverage social media effectively to enhance professional network;

4) Help interpreters better prepare for assignments;

5) Help interpreters understand what it means to be a professional.
