DOES ASLIS WORK WITH NON-CERTIFIED INTERPRETERS?
Yes, ASLIS feels it very important to give non-certified interpreters the opportunity to gain work experience and help them become certified. All non-certified interpreters are required to be evaluated in our office by Pamela N. Wellumson, CSC. provided they are have of the nescessary credentials. Upon completion of the evaluation the interpreters are rated based on skill level. Some interpreters are ready to become certifed and able to take some work, light jobs such as church services, meetings, etc. Other interpreters need some help before they are ready to take jobs or thier certification test. ASLIS helps those interpreters by getting them set up with mentors and providing them with feedback and direction on what to do next to help them improve their skills.
