This online training is a way for Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to show our appreciation and reward your excellent work. Offered training and performance improvement opportunities can sometimes be interpreted as a criticism; however, we intend for his opportunity to be a way to offer you space and support to be able to discuss conceptual ASL messages in state government.
The objective of these trainings is to offer you space and time to address performance improvement skills related to English to ASL interpretations.
