GREEN BAY, Wis. — Professional translators are in demand within the region to meet the needs of the Spanish-speaking population in northeast Wisconsin.
Recognizing this need, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has launched a new English-to-Spanish Noncredit Certificate program, including an American Translators Association exam prep boot camp. This program is designed to equip bilingual professionals with the skills to serve their communities and to ensure accuracy and cultural competency in areas such as health care, education and the legal system.
“As an organization that has historically provided translation services, this newly developed noncredit certificate meets the need of the growing Hispanic population in the areas where a translator can meet a critical need,” said Karin Kirchmeier, CEO, Partners for Community Development Inc.
Partners for Community Development Inc. is a local organization that provides resources that connect the community with safe and affordable housing while building life strengthening opportunities. “Providing this option for bilingual professionals creates additional access, inclusivity and understanding in our communities and will positively impact the regional workforce,” Kirchmeier said.
