Foreign Language & Sign Language Onsite Interpreting Services

Description

Onsite interpreting is the most familiar and traditional method of interpretation. At Hands Up, we strive to provide the best interpreting experience available. We believe in adhering to a symbiotic customer service model, meaning if we can’t help our partners grow, neither of us can grow. For organizations who experience a recurring need for face to face interpretation, Hands Up has a wide variety of experienced team members who are ready to help your organization communicate.

At Hands Up Communications, we ensure that all of our interpreters are properly qualified to handle any situation. Through the utilization of our publicly offered interpreter training program, we strive to help all interpreters grow to their best potential. Our training coordinator, Eunic Mardorf, holds a PHD and plays a crucial role in the development of our team. With our specialized courses and workshops, we are happy to promote growth and development in our community by offering the opportunity for all interpreters to improve.

You can schedule an interpreter by calling the Hands Up office, or by filling out a request on our website. We also provide onsite interpreting support for last-minute or emergency situations, and unexpected appointments. When you experience a language barrier, it is important to choose a company that understands your needs and is well equipped to meet your expectations.
