In this culturally diverse world, it is important to know how to communicate with those who speak little or no English. One of the best ways to do this is to enlist the help of a trained interpreter and know how to build a solid working relationship. Metaphrasis offers an interactive 2-4 hour session about how to work with an interpreter. This session is also available to be taught on-site to employers and their employees. The workshop will include the following points:

• An overview of the importance of having trained interpreters
• How to know when an interpreter is needed
• The procedures for requesting an interpreter
• Guidelines for working with an interpreter
• Important reasons for using trained interpreters verse untrained interpreters
• An opportunity to receive answers to questions or concerns you may have
