New Interpreters

Rochester is a Deaf friendly city to work in. With both the Rochester School for the Deaf and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf located here, it has become a mecca for Deaf people. It is estimated that there are over 10,000 Deaf people living in the Rochester area.

Interpreters are in high demand. SLC covers over 700 hours of interpreting per week. Even with the nearly 250 qualified interpreters in the area, there is still a shortage of skilled interpreters in the community. Rates are highly competitive, averaging between $20 and $40 per hour depending on certification and years of experience.

Rochester is also home for the American Sign Language Interpreter Education Program at NTID. Other training opportunities abound. The community Interpreter Training Center Grant, run from NTID, hosts many workshops for community interpreters.
