Using external translation vendors can often be costly, rigid, and time-consuming. The National Language Service Corps (NLSC), a program of the Defense Language National Security Education Office (DLNSEO) in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness at the Department of Defense (DoD), can help fulfill your language needs offering regional and cultural expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Hyejin Hickey and Christina Lantuh will share details of the NLSC—an agile, flexible, and cost-effective (yet high-quality) program that can provide services in over 400 languages. They will delve into the NLSC’s full range of language capabilities and answer your questions on how to maximize their services.
