Debating the Talent Gap: Academic-Industry Collaborations
Is there a talent gap in globalization and localization? Join us to engage in a lively debate among faculty, recruiters, and LSPs.
- Are today's students and graduates prepared for the profession?
- What knowledge and skills are needed that academic programs could add to their curricula?
- Should GALA member companies be offering internships or practicums to help bridge the divide?
The discussion will be moderated by Annelise Finegan, Academic Director at NYU. Panelists include John O'Sea (FIT Europe), Tom Alwood (NYU), Annette Lawlor (Lion People), and Evelyne Chauveheid (Stoquart).
Host organization: NYU SPS MS in Translation & Interpreting
