School systems are able to increase participation from parents and guardians through the use of professional interpreters and translators, resulting in equitable learning outcomes for their students.
Government Agencies
At every level of government, interpreters and translators are the key to engaging everyone and ensuring that all stakeholders have equitable access to notifications and delivery of services available to them.
Healthcare Systems
Healthcare systems that guarantee professional medical interpreters and translators increase accuracy, reduce risk, improve patient satisfaction, and support better health for their communities.
Legal Entities
Law firms and court systems can ensure compliance by providing communications that are appropriate for each individual through the use of professional legal interpreters and translators.
Financial Institutions
Banks and other financial institutions must ensure that their clients understand loan or service terms and repayment requirements.
Utility Companies
A language access program helps Utility companies to easily set up service or support appointments, handle disputes, or provide customer service in a manner that does not frustrate their customers and stress their staff.
Insurance Agencies
A language access program helps insurance companies to provide coverage that is tailored to the true needs of their customers.
Nonprofit Organizations
Language barriers affect the brand of nonprofit businesses by limiting their impact. Interpreters and translators are the answer to equitable communications.
