Wisconsin Mentoring Program
Interpreters are encouraged to take the Wisconsin
Interpreting and Transliterating Assessment (WITA) to obtain a score of
2:2 or higher which opens minimal opportunities for employment in
Wisconsin. Through the years, an increased expectation requiring national
certification by deaf, hard of hearing and hearing consumers has resulted
in a readiness to work gap for those WITA verified interpreters. As a
means to decrease this gap, the Wisconsin Mentoring Program (WMP)
envisions a community where sign language interpreters aspiring to attain
national certification have access to the appropriate mentoring and
training to achieve their professional goals with the purpose of expanding
the pool of qualified interpreters in Wisconsin. The program runs
from September to April.
