Especially when your role is to solve critical logistical problems for workers who are already there. For those preparing for work in the world of Bible translation, JAARS provides the focused, specialized training that is vital in many different areas.
Their staff who will work overseas with diverse teams of colleagues in countries with unfamiliar cultures need spiritual, emotional, and practical preparation for the challenges they will face. Their pilots and aircraft mechanics need specialized skills to operate safely in remote and difficult places.
Their regional translation centers need skilled, well-trained IT specialists to keep their Internet, network, and other systems running smoothly—and solve technical problems when they occur.
Mother-tongue translators who receive expensive tools like motorbikes, 4WD vehicles, boats, and computers need to learn how to operate and maintain them safely and effectively.
Translators and language workers whose projects require water transportation may face travel via an overcrowded, ill-equipped local watercraft. For them, reliable water safety gear and training in how to use it is essential.
We provide training in how to use water safety gear and personal watercraft, conducted at both the JAARS Center and in many overseas locations. We can also provide training for passenger vessels that serve multiple projects regionally, and training in the operation of specific vessels for captains, crew, and mechanics.
Our 4WD and motorbike training covers both basic and advanced driving skills and routine maintenance. Training is available at the JAARS Center as well as overseas upon vehicle delivery … whatever it takes to provide solutions that are both locally appropriate and sustainable.
