Training and employability are two terms that frequently appear in the speeches in those in charge of designing educational policies as well as in reports of economics or market trends. Training is necessary for integration into the job market. The aim of this article is to provide data extracted from several studies on university–language service providers (LSPs) relations in the European Union (EU) for the period 2010–2017. The EU Directorate-General for Translation through the European Master’s in Translation network (EMT network) and European Union of Associations of Translation Companies developed those studies. The first and last studies focused on LSPs’ companies while the second offers information on graduates and their training. The results obtained can be summed up as follows: what are employers looking for and what can the graduates offer? and indicate that translator education and training is a shared responsibility of universities and LSP in a highly competitive market.

Training and Employability: What are the LSPs looking for and what can the graduates offer?

Physical, optical and morphological studies of V2O5 doped zinc lead lithium phosphate (ZnPbLiP) glasses

Copper ion-doped glass material is prepared by melt quenching technique. A significant increase has been observed in the values of density and refractive index of this non-crystalline material with the increase in concentration levels of copper in the glass composition. Thermal properties of present glasses have been evaluated and Hruby’s criterion value KH = 0.4051 reveals exceptional stability of this glass material. Mechanical properties like coefficient of friction, specific wear rate, specific wear energy and Vicker’s micro-hardness of the present glasses have been investigated. Optical absorption occurred in ultraviolet, visible and near infra-red regions. The optical direct bandgap decreased from 2.94 to 2.93 eV and the indirect bandgap decreased from 2.92 to 2.89 eV with the uniform increase in the copper ion concentration, and revealed semiconductor nature of the material which is useful for protecting the solar cell. The transmission studies unravel the utility of the material as band pass filter in UV region at 366.21, 378.63 and 385.16 nm and having full-wave half-maximum (FWHM) 5.46, 3.74, and 13.74 nm and in the visible region at 415.49 nm with a full-width half-maximum width (FWHM) 2.56 nm.
