Internal Interpreter Training

​Pathways is an individualized training and mentoring program designed to prepare professional interpreters for Video Relay Service (VRS).

Participants in the program engage in language and interpreting mentorships, as well as other training activities to develop specific skills to become effective video interpreters (VIs).
Program Structure
The program uses a hybrid approach with the first 6 weeks of the program being completed from home and the final 4-6 weeks completed from home and from a Sorenson VRS center. 
​

Qualification
To be considered for the program, candidates must have a qualifying New Hire Screening score received within 6 months of the start of the cohort. 
​Participants who successfully complete the Pathways program will transition to a VI role within Sorenson.
