The purpose of the research was to examine whether or not partnerships between language services organizations and institutions of higher education have a positive impact on students, the educational institutions, partnering companies, and on the language services industry as a whole. We interviewed key educational institutions within the United States as well as a select few in Europe who closely partner with organizations within the language services sector to determine whether or not their partnering experiences had a positive effect on student enrolment, student participation, post-graduate success, and appropriate job placement within the language services industry. Likewise, we interviewed leaders in the language services industry to better understand whether or not they found the partnerships to be beneficial for their own organization, and for the industry as a whole. With regard to the key players we researched, all seemed to be in favor of partnerships, and all shared tangible reasons why these partnerships are a win for all involved. Although our research seems to indicate that – at least at present – there are only a limited number of these partnerships around the globe, there is a growing interest and desire for this number to grow in the years ahead.

本地化教育：语言服务提供商如何从教育合作伙伴关系中受益

该研究的目的是检验语言服务组织与高等教育机构之间的合作伙伴关系是否对学生，教育机构，合作公司以及整个语言服务行业产生积极影响。我们采访了美国的主要教育机构以及欧洲的少数与语言服务部门的组织紧密合作的少数教育机构，以确定他们的合作经历是否对学生入学，学生参与，研究生成功产生积极影响，以及在语言服务行业中的适当职位安排。同样，我们采访了语言服务行业的领导者，以更好地了解他们是否发现合作伙伴关系对自己的组织有利，以及整个行业。关于我们研究的主要参与者，所有人似乎都赞成建立伙伴关系，并且所有共享的切实原因也说明了为什么这些伙伴关系对所有参与者都是胜利。尽管我们的研究似乎表明，至少在目前，全球范围内的此类合作伙伴关系数量有限，但人们对这种合作伙伴关系在未来几年内增长的兴趣和愿望不断增长。
