Welcome to Career Launcher!
Career Launcher is an innovative and comprehensive new professional training program designed for court reporting students, new professionals, or anyone who needs a crash course in the life of a deposition reporter. This program is asynchronous and consists of 10 video mock deposition modules. Students can work through the program at their own pace. Candidates will benefit from more than 150 years of cumulative experience from leading industry professionals as they navigate the myriad of circumstances and environments that they will encounter in their career.
As a participant in this program, you will become the beneficiary of more than 150 years of cumulative experience from leading industry professionals. As you progress through the modules you will have the opportunity to virtually intern with these seasoned reporters and see them on the job, observe their professional conduct, and learn from them as they navigate the myriad of circumstances and environments that you will encounter in your career.
Writing is the core of what court reporters do but being a great writer alone doesn’t fully prepare you for the full experience of the deposition process. The quality of your transcript will be the ultimate evidence of our capabilities and value to the clients.
Completing this program will distinguish you from your colleagues and make you a more qualified and learned reporter on day one. So, with that said, let us get started by watching the Master Class Intro video!
