International Internship Program Gives Back

 ROCHESTER, NY – Advanced Language Translation has developed an internship program for students focused on international careers. The most recent participants were from France, Germany and the U.S. through arrangements with Kent State, the State University of New York at Brockport and the universities of Le Mans (France) and Leipzig and Flensburg (Germany).

Most of the internships offered at Advanced Language Translation Inc. (ALT) last for a semester with a monthly stipend available to the qualified candidates. Students are offered an opportunity to learn how a translation and localization company works. “They gain first-hand knowledge about project management, processes, and tools. But, mostly, they learn the importance of customer service,” says Scott Bass, president and founder of ALT. The students are required to have strong recommendations from their instructors and advisors, and be willing to take-on project management, production, and translation tasks.

“Internships enable us to ‘give back’ to the industry as well as help grow professionals who are specialized in the translation/localization field— a rare find.” ALT plans to continue to offer internships for translation, localization, and international marketing. They cite the advantages of providing an internship program as a reason to continue. Bass notes, “We establish good relationships with individuals who could potentially return for full-time employment or will end up working in our industry.” ALT maintains relationships with translators on seven continents.
