Pre-Employment Screenings

Community assignments do not require clearance. To work within schools, you will need to complete the appropriate clearance process, including fingerprinting, background clearance, and a possible drug test and training videos. This clearance is not required to interpret with us as an on-site interpreter, but completing it opens more assignments to you. Where costs are involved, ContextGlobal reimburses them once you are cleared, with an invoice and a valid copy of the receipt of payment.
