From Classroom to Workplace: A Comparative Study of Talent Cultivation in the Language Services Industry and Industry Demand

This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of higher education training programs for language service talent training and industry demands, revealing significant differences between the two and reflecting a disconnect between education and industry practice.Higher education training programs emphasize cultivating students' comprehensive qualities, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals with strong moral character and an international perspective.However, corporate recruitment data indicate that companies emphasize candidates' practical skills and relevant experience.Furthermore, there is a noticeable lack of co-occurrence words in specific terms and expressions, underscoring the differences.Therefore, higher education institutions need to adjust their curricula to align with industry demands, enhancing students' practical skills and career readiness.This study provides practical optimization recommendations, offering a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for cultivating language service professionals.
