In recognition of the National Court Reporting and Captioning Week, and to let people know about the growing number of employment opportunities the profession offers, Anoka Technical College is hosting:

Court Reporting and Captioning Spring Fling
Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016
4:30 to 6:30 pm
Anoka Tech Auditorium B

The public is encouraged to attend for a few minutes or the entire evening and bring along friends or family who are looking for a lucrative, high-demand career.

Attendees will meet local court reporting and captioning stars and have the opportunity to:

• learn how to train to be a court reporter or captioner
• tour a broadcast captioning station (learn how captions appear on TVs!)
• see realtime demonstrations as used in court or depositions
• see realtime demonstrations as used as an ADA accommodation (for example, how someone who loses their hearing can fully participate in a college course or religious service by using CART captioning)
• enjoy food
• try for raffle prizes
• view a Veterans history project

Court reporters and captioners are vital contributors to our legal system and to ADA services, and there is an increasing demand for qualified people in the field.
