Sign Language scholarships available

Published March 20th 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

Thanks Gail and Tiaho Trust for posting this information. I do hope people from the Northland can attend. Let me know if you require transport and I’ll see what I can do. Keep smiling, Mark

Very inspirational article for our maori men, i’m the gout research nurse for ngati porou hauora i would love to utilise your article and photo to motivate our many sufferers here on the coast.  I too have come across some very young guys (and old) who are too whakama etc and are not presenting early enough, could you contact me please?
