Update - this workshop has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule for later in the year, please look for future information.

One of the tenets of the NAD-RID CPC is that interpreters maintain ethical business practices. Many interpreters, both new to the profession or those who have been working as staff or subcontractors, as well as students who are graduating from an Interpreter Training Program, have no formal education about how to manage their own business. This workshop will educate interpreters and students about best practices for conducting business as an independent contractor, or practitioner. In this workshop, we will discuss the credentials and qualifications necessary for being recognized as an interpreter, discuss billing practices, including deciding how to charge fair and reasonable rates, and discuss the pros and cons of self-employment.
