After you dive in, there are ripples…

The CATIE Center’s Dive In project was funded for a 5-year cycle and now is at the end of its 5th year. We have accomplished our goals and are grateful to all who contributed to its development and delivery in supporting novice interpreters as they enter the profession. The self-directed Stepping Stones courses and Deaf Interpreter Resources Index are available for use by individual interpreters and by other programs and organizations. Find out more information by visiting our Resources page.

Thanks to U.S. Department of Education funding, the CATIE Center will support novice interpreters through Project Ripples from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2031. Building on our Dive In and Graduation to Certification initiatives, this partner-driven project aims to expand our impact. View the abstract of Project Ripples.
