Detroit Translation Bureau Creates Internship Program with Kent State University

    BINGHAM FARMS, Mich.--May 6, 2003--Rick Woyde, President and CEO of Detroit Translation Bureau (DTB) announced that Detroit Translation Bureau has developed an internship program with Kent State University.
    Kent State University has one of the most highly regarding language programs in the country. Kent's program includes courses on Translation Memory, Project Management with a focus on developing commercial skills. Kent has a state of the art technology lab providing students with critical hands-on experience with translation memory tools.
    According to KSU tools instructor Sue Ellen Wright, "The KSU approach to translator training has always been to try to provide students with the skills and education they need to function effectively in the marketplace, both now and in the future. The difference between education and mere training is that we are trying to give students the perspective to understand the function and purpose of tools so that they can continue to make good decisions over time, as well as providing them with a strong theoretical and practical background to ensure high quality translation, as well as terminology, text, and project management. Our approach must be working - our students enjoy an 85%+ rate for placement in the industry. The supply of qualified people leaving the program can't meet demand."
    Detroit Translation Bureau provides complete translation solutions including print and interactive production, video voice-overs, and on-site interpretation services. Some of the company's clients include General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, Delphi, Volkswagen and Porsche. The company translates over thirty languages, representing languages and countries on every continent. Additional information can be found at www.dtbonline.com.
