At The SOS Agency, we take pride in our ability to provide interpreters at a moment’s notice. We understand that life doesn’t always go as planned—especially in medical and mental health settings, where urgent needs arise without warning. However, as the demand for interpreters continues to grow, securing services in advance is more important than ever.
Why Is There an Interpreter Shortage?
The shortage of qualified interpreters is a nationwide issue. Several factors contribute to this challenge:
- Increased Demand: As accessibility awareness grows, more organizations recognize the importance of qualified interpreters, increasing the need for services.
- Limited Interpreter Pool: Becoming a skilled interpreter takes years of training and experience, and the number of certified professionals isn’t keeping pace with demand.
- High Specialization Needs: Some settings—such as medical, legal, and mental health—require interpreters with specialized knowledge, making last-minute coverage even more difficult.
How You Can Help
We are committed to serving our clients, even on short notice, but we encourage you to submit your interpreter requests as early as possible. This helps ensure:
- Interpreter Availability: The earlier you request, the better chance we have of securing the best interpreter for your needs.
- The Right Match: Advanced notice allows us to provide an interpreter with the appropriate skill set for your specific setting.
- Seamless Service: Avoid delays and last-minute stress by planning ahead whenever possible.
Our Commitment to You
Even with the growing demand, The SOS Agency remains dedicated to providing top-notch service. We continue to expand our network of highly skilled interpreters and prioritize urgent requests when life happens unexpectedly. Your communication needs matter to us, and we will always do our best to accommodate you.
