What does the RID Code of Professional Conduct strive to promote among interpreters?

The RID Code of Professional Conduct places a strong emphasis on the importance of continuous professional growth for interpreters. This focus underscores the need for interpreters to develop their skills, expand their knowledge, and keep pace with advancements in the field. Continuous professional growth ensures that interpreters remain effective in their work, uphold high standards of practice, and adapt to changes within the interpreting profession.

While monetary benefits, conducting formal evaluations only, and networking opportunities can play roles in a professional interpreter's career, they are not the primary focus of the RID Code of Professional Conduct. The Code encourages interpreters to engage in ongoing education, self-reflection, and skill enhancement as essential components of their professional journey, which ultimately benefits the quality of interpretation services provided to the community.
