SUMMARY:Mastermind Program: Open for Applications
DESCRIPTION:Don’t go it alone! Translators and interpreters often go into business understanding that finding and retaining clients will be hard work. What many fail to see\, however\, is the difficulty in running a business alone and not always knowing what to do next. This is where ATA can help! \nATA’s Mastermind Program uses a peer-based mentoring approach offering a combination of brainstorming\, education\, and support. You will work together in small groups to share knowledge on specific topics and work collaboratively to achieve your learning goals. \nThe deadline to apply is February 28.

SUMMARY:The New Remote Interpreting Landscape: Back to the Hack
DESCRIPTION:Before COVID-19\, remote interpreting was making slow\, but steady\, inroads into our profession\, primarily over platforms specifically designed for providing interpreting services. Almost overnight\, any kind of orderly progression for adopting over-the-phone (OPI)\, video remote (VRI)\, and remote simultaneous (RSI) interpreting was overtaken by market demand during the pandemic. \nAt the end of 2020\, every platform offering remote communication was being used to deliver interpreting services—from telehealth to Google Meets\, Zoom\, Facetime\, Facebook livestream\, and more. To stay in business\, interpreters and language companies were pushed to work remotely using whatever platform the client had chosen\, regardless of its suitability for the job. \nThe result? Interpreters are being asked to accommodate a never-ending number of hacks to force square pegs through round holes in order to make these platforms work. They are often providing ad hoc technical services\, juggling multiple phones and digital devices\, and working with new clients unfamiliar with interpreting best practices. \nRegister to attend “Back to the Hack” to learn how to make sense of the new remote landscape and learn strategies for handling remote work. \nWhat will you learn?\n\nDifference between remote interpreting and video conferencing platforms\nHow to categorize remote meetings over video conferencing platforms\nHow to identify the technical requirements for different kinds of meetings\nHow to evaluate your skill set to decide on assignments—setting reasonable limits\nHow to talk to clients about what is needed to provide services over the platform\n \n\n  \nAbout the Presenter\nKatharine Allen is a community and conference interpreter with more than three decades of experience interpreting\, training\, and teaching. Her clients have included the Federal Bureau of Investigation\, Kaiser Permanente\, the Department of Defense\, and Cross-Cultural Communications. \nKatharine’s career also includes designing curricula for academic and licensed training programs. She currently teaches for the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Translation and Interpreting Studies Certificate program. She previously taught at Glendon|York University in the school’s Master of Conference Interpreting graduate program. \nKatharine has an MA in Translation and Interpretation from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. She is co-founder of InterpretAmerica\, an organization dedicated to raising the profile of the interpreting industry.
