Description

This is just a reminder that Linguistics Career Launch 2024 is happening SOON – July 15-26, 2024. If you’re a linguist looking for a job outside academia, LCL24 is THE two-week event that will jump start your career journey. LCL events are open to undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and alums — in short, any linguists who want to transition from academia to industry.

There will be workshops, panels, interviews, and even financial planning sessions! Here’s a selection of what’s on offer:

• Working for the Government in National Security Organizations
• The Current State of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Work
• Re-finding Your Career Path: The Never-ending Journey of Your Work Life
• Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI): Working with Large Language Models (LLMs) as a Prompt

We’ll also have two courses:

• Document Design & Usability 101, taught by Dr. Nancy Frishberg: The class project is revising the California Olive Oil Council’s (COOC) Seal Certification Kit for extra virgin olive oil, as shown on its website
• Career Discernment, taught by Dr. Anna Marie Trester: Learn how to demonstrate how your unique set of skills – from critical thinking to cross-cultural competency – make you invaluable in any professional setting.

Tickets are available at Eventbrite.
