Testimonial Entries

“RGC Access has a wonderful internship program. I benefited greatly from the one-on-one mentoring and being placed on assignments with mentors that were willing to help me grow. I felt like I always had support. I loved working with a community-centered agency as well as their awesome staff!”

-Gabby Rivera, UNM Class of 2018

“I would not have been able to navigate becoming a professional interpreter after graduation without the internship at RGCA. The internship provided assignments that matched my skill set. I was able to work with a mentor throughout the entire internship that was available for debriefing and skill development. RGCA is special because they are local and committed interpreters that work within the local Deaf community.”

-Cynthia Jiron, William Woods University Class of 2017

“After graduating from college, RGC Access welcomed me into their family and helped me grow my skills and my career. The honest and open feedback was invaluable and was something I wouldn't have gotten without this internship. Now I feel confident about my career going forward.”

-Tristan Lenzo, UNM Class of 2018

RGC Access has a Bridge to Work program for recent graduates from interpreting training programs (ITPs). This program is to assist new interpreters entering the field. Working alongside nationally certified interpreters, RGC Access provides supervised on-the-job mentoring along with professional development tasks to ensure that new interpreters are able to develop and enhance their skills with the best support available. Limited contracts are awarded each year to new interpreters through a competitive process. 

As a new interpreter in the Bridge to Work program,  you will be placed on safe and appropriate community jobs based on your qualifications and paid opportunities to observe working interpreters. You will also meet with the Bridge to Work coordinator for supervision, establishing interpreting goals, and to review recorded work for feedback.
