Call for Volunteers: O*NET Data Collection Program

Member News

The O*NET Data Collection Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, is seeking the input of expert interpreters and translators. Your participation in this important initiative will help ensure that the complexities of your profession are described accurately in the O*NET database for the American public.

As the nation’s most comprehensive source of occupational data, O*NET is a free resource and provides instant access to detailed descriptions of more than 900 occupations driving the U.S. economy. Visitors include counselors, human resources professionals, researchers, developers, and students, to name a few. Visit O*NET Data Collection to learn more.

Currently, the occupations of translator and interpreter are listed in the O*NET database in the following manner:
Occupation: Interpreters and Translators
Description: Interpret oral or sign language, or translate written text from one language into another.

A random sample of experts responding to this request will be invited to complete a set of questionnaires. Experts who are selected and agree to participate will receive a $40 VISA gift code and a certificate of appreciation from the U.S. Department of Labor.

If you are interested in learning more and potentially volunteering, please visit the O*NET Volunteer Information Page. Please respond by 7/14/2025.

(Note: This is not an ATA-sponsored initiative. ATA is also not sharing your personal information. ATA is simply making you aware of the opportunity should you wish to participate.)
