Sign Language scholarships available

Published 20 March 2008, Posted in National

Communications and Information Technology Minister David Cunliffe has announced the government will fund twenty scholarships for training in sign language.

These scholarships are being offered as there is a shortage of qualified interpreters in New Zealand.  Having more qualified interpreters will assist in the development of services for the Deaf Community.  The Diploma in Sign Language Interpreting is available through Auckland University of Technology.  Read media release

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
