The expansion addresses a gap the company has repeatedly encountered while serving employers, healthcare providers, legal organizations and multilingual communities: businesses need qualified language professionals, while many bilingual individuals need clearer pathways to turn their language abilities into professional skills.
What MALS is launching
The education division can include programs such as:
Spanish for the Professions — professional Spanish education designed for individuals who need industry-relevant language skills.
Document Translator Training — structured training for bilingual professionals interested in developing professional document-translation skills.
Interpreter Training and Professional Development — education designed to strengthen interpreting practices, ethics, terminology and professional readiness.
Unlike a stand-alone online course provider, the education initiative is being developed inside an operating language-services company. Mid-American Language Services provides interpreting and translation services in more than 350 languages and operates Mainterpreter.com, its proprietary language-access technology platform.
“There are thousands of bilingual people who already possess an incredibly valuable skill, but speaking two languages and knowing how to work professionally as a translator or interpreter are not the same thing,” said Maya Navarro Williams, founder and CEO of Mid-American Language Services. “We want to create practical pathways that help people develop those skills while also helping employers build stronger multilingual workforces.” -Maya N. Williams
The expansion also reflects Mid-American Language Services' broader strategy of building language-access infrastructure from Wichita that can serve organizations locally and nationwide. The company combines professional interpreting, translation, workforce education and language technology within one growing ecosystem.
As organizations increasingly encounter multilingual employees, customers, patients and communities, Mid-American Language Services sees language access not simply as an interpreting service but as workforce infrastructure. Its model now connects professional services, training, interpreter development and technology.
Enrollment information for upcoming professional language programs will be available through Mid-American Language Services at malanguageservices.com. Organizations interested in workforce language training, interpreting, translation or enterprise language-access solutions can also contact the company at (877) 478-3888.
