The new mechanism exchanges and discusses new ideas for the training of school-enterprise cooperation talents.
On the afternoon of April 12th, Talkingchina translated into Fudan Campus. Students from Fudan University of Foreign Languages had a strong interest in this lecture and actively participated in this special lecture. Before the lecture, Talkingchina conducted a survey around the lecture, fully understanding the students' thoughts and some doubts about the pre-graduation period. In response to these problems, Talkingchina can make careful preparations. The lecture is divided into ten sections, which introduces the specific needs of translation in the market today, how translators enter the market, and the development of the translation industry and translators.
In the current translation industry, the cooperation between translation companies and college students in MTI or language majors is a normal state, and it is a path for achieving win-win for both enterprises, universities and students. For enterprises, it is conducive to the recruitment and training of talents, and it is also conducive to enhancing the visibility of enterprises; for colleges and universities, enterprises can provide students with opportunities for internships, and can cooperate with universities to teach and help students to find employment. In recent years, Talkingchina Translation has been exploring the interaction between schools and enterprises and strengthening the docking between universities and colleges. The purpose is to create a translation industry ecosystem with sustainable development capabilities, to achieve interdependence and mutual support, and to promote the translation industry together. Benign development.
In fact, Talkingchina's cooperation with Fudan University has been carried out for many years. The teachers and students of the School of Foreign Languages and Literatures have always participated in the practice of Talkingchina oral and translation projects. At the same time, many former MTI translation master students have worked full-time in Talkingchina translation. . As one of the top ten Chinese translation companies in Shanghai and the top 31 language service providers in Asia Pacific, Talkingchina Translation has the strength and hopes to achieve complementary resources and timely delivery of excellent translation talents through school-enterprise cooperation.
In January 2019, Talkingchina Translation officially signed a cooperation framework agreement with the School of Foreign Languages and Literatures of Fudan University to establish a translation practice base. In the process of co-constructing the translation practice base, Fudan University is responsible for the construction and management of the professional practice base at the student organization; while Talkingchina Translation Company is responsible for implementing the construction of the professional practice base at the demand side centering on translation production and project practice. And management work.
The lecture was held under the background of such cooperation. In addition to the speech by Talkingchina, the vice president of Qiao Xi, Ms. Wang Yanqiang from MTI of Fudan University also introduced the style of foreign language and literature colleges and the teachers of various languages. Talkingchina Translation brings convenience in the selection of post-intern positions. The students who participated in the lectures all listened with great interest and raised questions. Some asked about the employment prospects and salary status of the translation industry, the relationship and development trend of machine translation and human translation, and some concerned about the translation of professional fields (such as life science, The ability to develop patents, etc., the lecture lasted for an hour and a half. At the end of the year, the students were still intent and expressed their inspiration.
“Deciphering the translation industry” is just the beginning of Talkingchina into the Fudan campus. It is a bridge for school-enterprise cooperation. In the future, we hope to organize more lectures that will help students to help students in school. More oriented, targeted, and more opportunities to improve their abilities through translation work practices. Talkingchina Translation will provide full-time training, part-time oral translation training, corpus production, translation project management, translation skills enhancement and other internship positions, so that students can understand the operation of the translation company after the internship or work of a real translation company. Execution of the process, operation of the translation tool, etc.
Fudan University has always been known at home and abroad for its motto of “Education, enthusiasm, and close thinking”. It has trained a large number of outstanding talents for the society. Through the strong cooperation with Fudan University and the joining of these outstanding translation majors, I believe that Talkingchina will have a longer development, and will certainly work with Fudan University to promote the healthy development of China's translation industry.
