Senior Translation Project Manager at Global Wordsmiths
"The GCAT program has really opened new doors for me in the language service industry. I came to the program with a pure interest in translation, but I have learned a lot more new skills other than translation throughout the practical courses and projects. Those skills have proven valuable in my current job, and I am extremely grateful for the experience."
