On 8 December the Association of Translation Companies (ATC) held its annual conference where SCIT was represented by Deputy Director Angelique Antonova.  The conference was attended by heads of the translation companies, academia, and representatives of IT companies developing software for the industry.  We at SCIT set much store by keeping close ties with potential employers for our graduates, and always invite them to take part in SCIT activities. We are equally  happy to participate in their events, and XIV ATC conference was just one such occasion. At the conference Angelique Antonova preseted her report on training T&I specialists in the digital era. Participants from the T&I industry shared their expectations of the graduates’ competencies and skills, and jointly academia and industry discussed the ways to align the T&I training programs with the T&I market requirements.  We are also happy to inform that Angelique Antonova became ATC Laureate-2023. Congratulations!
