The NorthStar Mentorship Project is a state funded grant project developed to support interpreters toward certification attainment or advancement. The project offers five specialized mentorship tracks designed to meet the range of professional growth and certification goals of interpreters. Each track takes place online incorporating various virtual platforms. Participants work through purposeful activities with a team of mentors enriching language, interpreting, and professional development. The panel will discuss the project origins, philosophical foundations, overall structure and lessons learned during the first year. The project was established through the Interpreter Mentorship, Education and Training (IMET) project with TAESE at Utah State University.
