Language Bank

With more than 20 years of experience providing language access and cultural solutions through document translation and interpretation language services in-person and on-demand (over-the-phone and video), the Language Bank at NNIC connects people through language and ensures it is never a barrier. We help companies, government agencies and limited English individuals (LEP) to communicate effectively and understand one another through confidential, quality and courteous engagements.

Exchange programs

Creating the next generation of global citizens is one of our most important objectives.  NNIC's many professional and cultural exchange programs offer opportunities for the local community to get involved with young people and seasoned professionals from all over the world.
