SUMMARY:WLDE: Expert Discussion\, Recruiting Localization Professionals Post-Brexit
DESCRIPTION:Where does all the talent go? Join us for an expert discussion about the influence of Brexit on the future of localization jobs\n\n\nBrexit is finalized\, the transition period officially ended\, and the United Kingdom has left the European Union. When all is said and done\, how does this impact localization jobs? \nIn our upcoming event we invite two experts\, Raisa McNab and Leona Jackson\, to share their perspectives on the impact that the new EU-UK relationship has on localization companies\, freelancers\, recruitment and the quality of linguistic services. We will take a look at the legal foundations of Brexit and its practical consequences. Our experts will share how they are adapting to this new reality and how they’re overcoming present challenges. \nAbout Raisa McNab \nRaisa is CEO at the UK’s Association of Translation Companies\, representing 200 member companies operating in the UK’s language services industry. A translator by training\, Raisa has worked in the language services industry for the best part of two decades\, from heading project management at a translation company to developing ISO standards for the industry – and pretty much anything and everything in between! \nAs the ATC’s chief Brexit untangler\, and a native Finn in the UK\, Raisa has a wealth of first-hand experience of the changing pre- and post-Brexit landscape for the language services industry. \nAbout Leona Jackson  \nLeona Jackson – Leona is a legal linguist with a specialisation in European and International Law and legal translation. During her time as research and project manager at the University of Cologne\, respectively at the Institute for European Legal Linguistics and at the Institute for Air Law\, Space Law and Cyber Law\, she was responsible for the organisation of multiple seminars and projects in cooperation with officials from various European institutions\, such as the the European Court of Justice. Additionally\, her visit to the Directorate General for translation at the European Parliament as a postgraduate opened further insights into multilingualism at EU level. Leona is currently based in Luxembourg and works at an international law firm. \nBeing both a German and British native\, Leona has grown up in a bilingual environment which further encouraged her interests in multilingualism as well as European politics in general. \nThis is our first online event of 2021. The event will take place via Zoom\, we will send the meeting details to all participants on the day of the event.  \nEvent schedule \n18:00 – 18:15 Introduction \n18:15 – 19:30 Speaker discussion \n19:30 – 20:00 Q&A
