The 2016 Court Reporting & Captioning Week is sponsored by the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, broadcast and CART captioners, and legal videographers. This week pulls together a nationwide effort to showcase the career opportunities that exist in the court reporting and captioning fields.

Madison College offers an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Court Reporting with a 100 percent online program option, student scholarships, nearly100 percent job placement, and national program that is certified by NCRA. The College will be engaged in efforts throughout the week to promote the profession to its student population and to the surrounding community.
