For best programming, Niagara College, Welland, Ontario, Taralea McLean & Joan Rinker, accepting.

Recently LERN’s Julie Coates went to the post office. The clerk was not able to tell the Spanish speaking woman in front of her how to fill in a form, so he just raised his voice and futiley repeated the instructions in English, slowly of course. Julie stepped in and gave her the instructions in Spanish. Which points out the need for Niagara College’s Language Interpreter certificate program.

In a multicultural society, which we are all in, an increasingly needed service. The certificate format is popular. And the program creates good jobs.
