Java is a great teaching language, I'd say. Python is good too but not 
as good a Java. Python to me is too messy as it tries to be simple but 
keep other features, hence to me it feels unstructured.

I don't know what industry says but I love Java.

All sort of languages are used in teaching including Java and
Python.

If we follow the stereotype (which is far from everyone) then
I would expect:

business - Java and/or C#
science - Python and/or R
theoretical CS - OCAML and/or Haskell
hardware - C

But I suspect that exceptions are the majority.
