What is it about?
There are differences between translation students' and translation graduates' perception and use of translation technologies. Students tend to use some tools that graduates do not. In some cases, the translation technologies that are taught in class are not always the most used ones by graduates, so this could affect the students' skills related to technology in the translation market.
