Summary:Do you want to earn a new set of skills? Start a second career? Create a new stream of revenue for your business adding a new service? Provide an essential social service? Find out how telephone interpreting and remote video interpreting are changing the world of communication as we know it.
Description
In 3 hours, open your world to a new profession as a telephone interpreter or/and videointerpreter. The market is estimated at 600 million in the US plus 400 million in the rest of the world, and growing by the day. If you speak two (or more) languages FLUENTLY, you may become a teleinterpreter or videointerpreter.

Attendees will understand what over-the-phone-interpreting (OPI) entails, what remote video interpreting (RVI) is, and the skills and tools needed to develop an edge in these new professions. OPI and RVI are quickly replacing on-site interpreting to assist communication between doctors and patients, courtroom procedures, call centers and consumers, credit card companies and their users, insurance companies and claimants, investors and foreign partners, individuals in global social networks, and many others, including the public and government
agencies.
Target audience

Learning objectives
Interpreting Bundle 3 of 4
This workshop is the first step in understanding what telephone interpreting
is, what remote video interpreting is, how these new ways of interpreting work, what the requirements are, and what may be expected of them as a source of income. This workshop is designed for individuals who are new to the concepts of teleinterpreting and videointerpreting, or agencies thinking of a new line of business. At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to decide if telephone interpreting or videointerpreting is something they would like to pursue and, if so, the next steps to prepare for this new challenge.
