    The New Mexico Commission for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Apprenticeship Program is a part time, paid 12-month program designed to help interpreters develop their tools and knowledge to effectively interpret in a variety of scenarios and to prepare for a national level interpreter assessment. This program is not limited to recent graduates of an interpreter training program but is open to all interpreters who are eligible for a New Mexico Provisional Interpreter License.  The FY 25 program will run July 2024 to June 2025.
