Many interpreters do their work via video, whether it be through a video relay service, or video relay interpreting.  The NCIEC is working in collaboration with partners and stakeholders to uncover and document standard practice; identify best practices; and outline effective practices of interpreters working over video technology and promote inclusion of these findings in interpreter education. In September, 2007, a Summit, the first-ever Academia-Industry Collaboration: An Essential Partnership for Preparing Qualified Personnel Resources for the Video Relay Services Industry was held to begin the work of identifying current and effective practices as well as education/training needed to support interpreters in mastering requisite competencies to work in these settings.

The NCIEC is focused on identifying common needs and issues of the industry as a way to provide input to Interpreter Education regarding essential educational and training needs of interpreters working in video settings.
