DESCRIPTION: This workshop is designed for staff and volunteers of newcomer
  serving organizations who are not trained interpreters\, but are 
 sometimes called on to interpret. Staff who book / use interpreters or 
 managers of settlement programs are also welcome to attend. The workshop 
 will take place between 9:30 am - 2:30 pm and will include breaks. Some of
  the topics we will discuss include: What happens when I am called upon to
  interpret as part of my current job duties? What is the role of a trained
  professional interpreter and how is that different from being a language 
 assistant/language support? How do I know when the interpretation is 
 beyond my current skills and abilities as a language assistant/language 
 support? and many other important issues! Areas we will cover include: 
 Standards of Practice: Ethical Principles &amp\; Performance Expectations 
 Accuracy and Fidelity Introductions at an Interpreting Assignment: 
 Practicing the Introduction Sight Translation Remote Interpretation
