Careers : PhDs fit for industry and commerce, too

The shortcomings of PhD training have been commented in several issues of Nature journal ( Nature 472, 259–260 ; 2011 and Nature 486, 304 ; 2012). But PhD programmes in many European countries have modernized, expanding the traditional apprenticeship model in recognition of the fact that most new PhDs are not destined for academia. Industry and commerce are already welcoming this new batch of graduates. Training has been broadened to develop such skills as scientific and lay presentation, teaching, grant application, time management, linguistic abilities and networking. These reforms are being promoted by the European Commission, the European Universities Association Council for Doctoral Education and by ORPHEUS, an independent organization that represents more than 100 European biomedical and medical faculties.
