This WebShop continues our exploration of perspectives that comprise the world of community-based interpreting. While the provision of Video Relay Service interpreting is typically considered it's own arena, the types of calls that are handled in the VRS environment are akin to the situations one might encounter in community-based environments - thus the reason this dialogue is included in our community series.
This WebShop looks at the provision of VRS services from the perspective of a call center manager. We are very pleased to welcome Danelle Jansen, the Center Manager, Colorado Operations, for Purple Communications Inc. Danelle currently supervises 24 full time Video Relay and community interpreters, and works with over 70 more non-benefited freelance interpreters. Her experience as a VRS and Community Services manager provides a unique perspective on managing interpreters across the community-based continuum, however, our dialogue will focus primarily on VRS call center management.
Topics that will be discussed include managing the shift from a community service model of interpreting to a corporate model of service, managing the shift from independent practitioner status to employee/staff status, the challenges and demands the VRS environment creates for practitioners and ways in which supervisors can help practitioners meet these challenges. Danelle will also discuss the practitioner's responsibility to the larger system that they are a part of, the intersection of community and VRS interpreting and what, from her perspective and experience, makes VRS work rewarding for so many.
Please join us for the second in our Community Dialogue Series; the information shared in this dialogue is sure to provide a new lens through which you can view your work.
Cost: $50.00
