Region X Interpreter Education Center: Federal funding is awarded on a five-year cycle to ten (10) regional programs by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). The funds are used to provide continuing education training opportunities to interpreters who work throughout the United States. The training opportunities for Deaf and Hearing interpreters are in the form of workshops, mentorships, seminars, and classes and cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, sign-to-voice and voice-to-sign skills development, specialized training (i.e. legal, medical, performing arts, oral, mental health), theory, and ethics and decision making.
    In addition, two (2) national programs are funded on the same 5-year cycle, with each program focusing on very specific training needs. During the 1995-2000 grant cycle, the two national grants were the National Multicultural Interpreting Program and the National Deaf-Blind Interpreter Training Program. During the 2000-20005 grant cycle, the national grants will focus on Distance Education and on Educator Training. For a complete listing of the 10 regional grants and the states included in each of the 10 areas and the 2 national grants, check out the Region X Interpreter Education Center web site listed above.
