Contract Interpreters <\/p>\n
Sign Shares utilizes independent service providers to provide
\nservices when volume fluctuates, when contracts require special
\nskills or ongoing assignment, when services are required in rural
\nareas or when emergency response dictates the closest qualified
\ninterpreter anywhere, nationwide. <\/p>\n
Assignments are currently available for K-12, college and university
\neducational contracts and recurring community assignments. Temporary
\nbut ongoing assignments are also available for the myriad of
\ncommunity clientele we serve which includes but is not limited to
\nconferences, medical and mental health, legal and Court and for
\nclientele who are in graduate and professional level specialty
\nvenues. The volume of work offered a contract interpreter is
\ndetermined by, his or her qualification for any specific clientele
\nand venue, proximity to location, availability and cost of service. <\/p>\n
Private practitioners contract for specific clientele on a specific
\nday or dates. The contractor works in cooperation with Sign Shares
\nbut operates as an independent business entity. All services provided
\nthrough Sign Shares are strictly confidential and considered
\nproprietary. <\/p>\n

\nbusiness vita, terms, hourly rates and availability. We encourage
\nprivate practitioners to meet with us to insure all documentation,

\nboth parties. Sign Shares negotiates with interpreters to insure
\ncontracts are mutually beneficial. <\/p>\n
