Description: This training will provide a framework for delineating between right vs. wrong and right vs. right decisions. It will explore the differences in moral decisions and ethical dilemmas by carefully assessing how people resolve conflicts using a variety of identifiable techniques. Examples will be discussed comparing the NAD-RID CPC with common societal paradigms.  

Educational Objectives: At the end of this training participants will be able to

• identify common dilemma paradigms
• determine if an issue is truly an ethical dilemma
• resolve dilemmas after considering the impact on other parties
• apply information learned in this training through the lens of the NAD-RID CPC to aid interpreters in holistic decision-making on the job.

Target Audience: Interpreters and ITP students (this training will satisfy the annual requirements for ethics hours for KY licensed interpreters and for uncertified contractors working for Bridges).
