We also announced our decent employment opportunities exclusively for the People of determination [special needs].

A Word from The Founders
Today’s global language, translation and content [LTC] industry is transforming into an enormous marketplace, with ever-increasing demand for industry experts like translators, interpreters, copywriters, content designers and developers, desktop-publishing specialists and, essentially, the bilingual or multilingual business connoisseurs.
The Arab world is not an exception to the phenomenon; knowing that our region has always been the driver for significant global-change events. However, the Arab LTC industry infrastructure is presently too fragile to cater for the emergent global and regional demand for LTC experts. Reports from renowned organizations highlight a widespread market gap between supply and demand, ultimately due to the gap between the labor market requirements and the didactic paradigms.
Hence, there stands a dire need for proficient industry-driven training service that would comply with the international standards to leverage the region’s human capital into a mainspring for the region’s sustainable development. This is typically the mission of Elaph’s decision to vertically expand its market-reach into the LTC training business. Having a recognized position as excellent provider in the regional translation and content service market for more than 10 years, we could simply analyze the negative bearings the lack of competent translators, editors and writers have triggered.
In response, and after foresightful planning and consultations with leading advisors, we initiated and founded Elaph Training to become the region’s most uniquely-positioned and industry-driven training academy. Our strategic goal is to help the Arab individuals and corporations to build their topnotch LTC competences so as to unravel their prospects of development and growth.
Whether you are in the LTC business and seek out the advancement of your existing human capital, a freelance professional in pursuit of better career performance, a venture capitalist exploring the LTC industry with investment appetite, a regional or global organization having interest in the MENA LTC industry, I trust we are well prepared to pool resources for our mutual success in a challenging environment.
