There are three ways to satisfy the practicum requirement for MAT and MATLM students: 1) Pursue an individual translation project (Translation Practicum), Volunteer to work for Globe Multilingual Services (Localization Practicum Section A), or Work at a localization-related internship or non-profit organization (Localization Practicum Section B).

A SECTION

Globe Multilingual Services is designed to give TLM students real-world experience. Students work in small teams to manage localization projects for Globe’s non-profit partner organizations. Students work in roles that correspond to either their future career goals or a role he or she would like to explore. Students should plan on providing training and technical support to other students who are working on their projects.

B SECTION

Students working at a localization-related internship or non-profit organization are already gaining invaluable real-world experience. Since internships are generally designed to have a learning component, internship students will be expected to share their experiences with each other to foster knowledge sharing.
