Weathering the Shutdown: Strategies for ASL Interpreters
We are offering a self-study activity for ASL interpreters impacted by the recent government shutdown. It is available free of charge to everyone. Please share it freely with your colleagues or anyone who may benefit. 0.1 GS CEUs are available for a $10 fee (free for Quick Guide Tax clients).
This self-study provides ASL interpreters with practical strategies to navigate the financial and professional challenges of government shutdowns. Participants will explore methods to safeguard income, diversify revenue streams, and implement financial management practices designed for uncertain times. Through guided activities, interpreters will learn to strengthen resilience, protect professional relationships, and uncover new growth opportunities. By the end of the study, attendees will leave with actionable tools to turn disruption into long-term stability and success.
