The Internship in Spanish allows students to gain professional, real-world experience and earn academic credit by interpreting and/or translating for a Rutgers University Law School clinic in Newark or for community organizations in New Jersey that work with speakers who have limited English proficiency. Interns provide intensive interpreting and translation services in exchange for academic credit through the Rutgers undergraduate Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies. Interns are required to work 8-10 hours a week to receive academic credit and commit to availability during two interpreting time slots per week. Additionally, interns meet weekly with the program manager for skills training. Training includes best practices, ethics, memorization techniques, note-taking skills, creation of a glossary, résumé-building, and problem solving as needed. At the end of the semester, interns complete a written assignment and receive an academic grade based on their work throughout the semester.
