University of Basrah Launches Language and Translation Training Program for the Oil Sector
In line with the University of Basrah's vision of aligning educational outcomes with labor market demands, the College of Education in Al-Qurna, in cooperation with the College of Arts and the Continuing Education Center, launched a week-long training course entitled "Translation Approaches in the Oil and Gas Sector: From Arabic to English."
The course aimed to equip graduates of English Language and Translation departments with specialized terminology in the oil and gas sector, refine their linguistic and professional skills, and enhance their readiness to work in local and international oil companies, thus contributing to bridging the gap between academic outputs and labor market requirements.
The course included specialized modules in simultaneous interpreting, translation of oil contracts and agreements, and translation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) documents. These modules were presented by a select group of academics and specialists in the fields of translation and language.
