ASLIS works to cater each intern’s experience to fulfill the area(s) of interpreting the intern is interested in being trained in. This is a freelance internship so the intern can expect to experience a variety of settings. Some experiences may include; post-secondary education, business, community/county, medical, and theatrical/performance. Note: not all situations or locations will allow interns.

Interns will work with Internship Coordinator, Katie Johnson, to set their schedule and complete an orientation session. Interns will go out on freelance jobs with a qualified Interpreter Mentor (for observation or hands-up teaming). The intern will complete periodical evaluations and follow up closely with ASLIS regarding scheduling and internship goals. It is recommended for the intern to work with an ASL Mentor during their internship and to attend community events and workshops. Interns are expected to work on their own to prepare in advance for each assignment.
