The RCAS program sets aside a portion of its funding each year for the training of communication access services providers. To be eligible for RCAS-sponsored training and scholarship, the training program must be aligned with RCAS program goals. In addition, the person must meet the requirements of the specific training or scholarship program; be willing to take assignments in rural areas; and, once qualified or certified, become an active RCAS program vendor and accept a minimum of five assignments per year (with RCAS or not) in rural areas for two years.
RCAS interpreting staff provide ongoing sign language interpreting workshops at professional conferences and other locations. Information about training and scholarship programs is posted on the commission website.
