CAIRS Educational Support Mission
One of CAIRS' priority missions includes the provision of direct and indirect support for continuing interpreter education, on an annual basis. Beginning January 1, 2010, interpreters who are licensed in the State of Illinois will be required to complete a certain number of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) as determined by the Illinois Deaf and Hard of Hearing Commission (IDHHC). For more specific information please contact IDHHC. As resources permit, CAIRS will assist in sponsoring upcoming educational workshops.
