Case Study: Utica Community Schools achieves certified interpreter excellence with LanguageLine

Utica Community Schools certifies interpreters in 42 languages with LanguageLine

Utica Community Schools, a diverse Michigan school district with over 42 languages spoken, needed to ensure its bilingual staff met professional interpretation standards for compliance and effective family communication. They partnered with vendor LanguageLine to validate and enhance their in-house interpreters' skills through their Testing & Training program.

LanguageLine implemented a comprehensive certification process for three interpreters, involving proficiency testing, performance exams, and professional training. This resulted in validated interpreter qualifications, a strengthened compliance posture, and enhanced support services for the district's diverse families, equipped with industry-recognized credentials.
