What is CORE Initiative?
IRIS: CORE Initiative provides ~300 hours of hybrid (onsite and online) interpreting knowledge and skills training designed for rural interpreters. This dialogic, bilingual (ASL & written English) curriculum begins with a weeklong onsite orientation from June 23-29, 2024 at the University of Northern Colorado, followed by a 9-month facilitated training via an online community of learning from August 2024-May 2025. After successful completion of CORE training, participants have an opportunity to engage in a 6-month induction experience.
Training, mentoring, and RID CEUs are offered at no cost. During the 2024 onsite orientation at University of Northern Colorado: Department of ASL & Interpreting Studies, IRIS will provide 6 nights' housing and several meals (breakfast and lunch on training days) free of charge. Participants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own travel to and from UNC. To help defray travel costs, participants who complete the onsite orientation will receive a $550 allotment 6-8 weeks after the onsite training.
