Did you know that roughly 75% of interpreters working in the United States are independent contractors?
Here at In Every Language, we understand the power of micro-business and we make it part of our mission to help contractors from disadvantaged background grow their careers. Part of these efforts include our recent endorsement of the Contract Interpreters Information Center.
In this work, In Every Language joins respected colleagues from around the nation in supporting this valuable and growing resource. The Center's website explains the benefits of running your own micro-enterprise as a contractor, contains advocacy information on the contractors' federal labor rights, and offers a blog updating state-specific information as it becomes available. Information is also available on how an independent contractor can make her/himself more attractive to translating and interpreting agencies.
We appreciate our hardworking interpreters who strive day-in, day-out to ensure that our clients' communications are accurately conveyed from one language into the next. That's why we do what we can to support them, and that is why In Every Language backs the Contract Interpreters Information Center.
