    DD12-The "Me Too" Moment of Mental Health in an Intensive Localization Industry (Guest: Laura DeCook)

    The localization industry is super interesting, but it also comes with intensive schedules and pressure. In that context, prioritizing mental health is highly important for providing us with the energy to not only deal with the challenges in work but also care for our loved ones and ourselves.    In this episode, we invited Laura DeCook, founder of LDC Wellbeing, which offers engaging and interactive workshops to support people's mental well-being. Before founding her own company, Laura had extensive experience serving as a well-being specialist in big tech corporations.    We talked about how Laura moved from films and tech into mental health, how important it is to talk about mental health issues, and what students and people in the localization industry can do to boost their mental well-being.    If you like this episode or think somebody will like this episode, share and subscribe to our podcast!

    SB14- Taking Ownership of Entry Level Positions

    One of many things that soon-to-be graduates worry about is how to apply the skills and knowledge obtained in the classroom to the real world. Entry level positions are no longer truly "entry level"- future graduates will need to go in with ideas at the ready. So how can future graduates implement things, such as localizability checks and content briefs, that were learned in classes and inject them into the company? In this episode, we talk to Yelena Proskurin, Assistant Professor of Professional Practice at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS), about her experience implementing new workflows and processes during her professional career and how future graduates can apply the topics that they learned during their time at MIIS to entry level job positions.

We sat down with Winnie Heh, Career Advisor at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey focused in helping students in the Language industry, to discuss her experience and knowledge of the two great halves of Localization. Winnie speaks on the perceived differences in working conditions many have regarding the client and vendor side.
