Job Outlook

The graduate of the Sign Language program will most likely be entrepreneurial in job seeking since there are many organizations that need interpreters for occasional events, meetings or speeches, but not often for a fulltime position. However, this can be a benefit, since this allows the interpreter to set his or her own hours and control the number and type of clients. Some will become regular clients.

Jobs are also available in the educational setting, typically during the school year. Human services and education can sometimes provide fulltime jobs in this area, depending on the agency or school district.

Earnings

Entry-level salaries for graduates of this program will vary depending on the employment situations and the individual graduate’s background. According to labor market statistics, the median hourly earnings are between $12 to $14 an hour. Benefits maybe part of a package provided by some of the employers as well.
