This paper aimed to identify whether or not Yemeni university translation program output meets the actual labor market needs, and to what extent the gap can be bridged. The study follows a purely qualitative approach. An empirical evaluation of translation programs in a sample of private and public universities was conducted. This evaluation involved a test administered to 10 BA English holders of Taiz University and UST. Findings revealed a gap between the outcomes of such programs and expectations. Participants were not qualified enough to translate various documents related to the labor market. In order to bridge this gap, some recommendations were put forward to the stakeholders.
