The thesis aimed to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Examine the extent to which translation education in Yemeni universities aligns with the professional competencies required by INGOs in humanitarian contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The research yielded several key findings, summarized as follows:\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • A significant gap between academic training and professional needs: 77.8% of participants reported a lack of alignment, and 83.3% noted insufficient opportunities for practical training.<\/li>\n
    • Only 22.3% agreed that current programs adequately prepare students for INGO-related work.<\/li>\n
    • Conversely, 88.9% stressed the need for training in emerging translation technologies, while 83.4% called for improving communication and professional mentoring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Based on the findings, the researcher proposed several recommendations, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Integrating humanitarian texts and terminology into curricula, with exercises based on authentic NGO documents.<\/li>\n
      • Establishing partnerships with INGOs to provide structured training and embedding practical translation projects that simulate the actual job market into coursework.<\/li>\n
      • Offering workshops on communication skills and CV writing as well as creating mentoring programs linking students with professional practitioners.<\/li>\n
      • Making humanitarian translation content a mandatory component of accredited curricula, including intercultural communication skills.<\/li>\n
      • Facilitating and encouraging collaboration between universities and INGOs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The defense session was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and interested participants, colleagues and the researcher\u2019s family members.<\/p>\n
