“…The very few studies of potential employers outside the academy suggest challenges for all PhD graduates in finding non-academic employment. For instance, Kyvik and Olsen (2012) report that three-quarters of employers in private industry did not believe a PhD adds value beyond that of a master's degree, so PhD graduates may feel underemployed if hired (Pedersen, 2014). Interestingly, private employers who have already hired PhD graduates are more open to hiring them than those without such previous experience, as are employers with a research and development focus (Cruz-Castro & Sanz Menendez, 2005).…”

“…Importantly, PhD‐trained individuals no longer only choose to work as professors, as there has been “a transformation of the research occupation from primarily including ivory tower traditionalists to also cover pragmatic researchers…PhDs in knowledge economies operate in multiple sectors with a variety of objectives” (Pedersen, , p. 640). Additionally, the need for interdisciplinary approaches to local and global problems/issues and to industry challenges have led to an increasing variability of careers for PhD recipients (Fuhrmann, ; Roberts, ).…”

“…A global focus is currently on higher education graduates’ employability, time to completion, workforce knowledge and skills, and the importance of enhancing human resources during the current era of exponential rates of advancements in technology (Fuhrmann, ; Griffiths, Inman, Rojas, & Williams, ; Pedersen, ; Thiry, Laursen, & Loshbaugh, ). Knowledge‐intensive labor is essential for sustained competitiveness (Pedersen, ), and with a new focus on research skills and competencies in the workforce, the number of PhD graduates grew by almost 40% from 2000 to 2009 (Auriol, Misu, & Freeman, ). Here, we discuss the current conversations and debates on employability of doctoral students in the United States and in Italy.…”

“…3) Формируемые навыки Аспирантские программы по модели «наставничества» ориентированы на уз копрофильную подготовку кадров для академии. При этом большая доля выпуск ников аспирантуры во многих странах трудоустраивается именно на внешнем по отношению к университетам и исследовательским структурам рынке труда [Schwabe, 2011;CanalDomínguez, Wall, 2014;Pedersen, 2014]. Соответственно, одно из положений критики таких программ состояло в недостатке у выпускников универсальных навыков, таких как навыки эффективной работы в команде, ор ганизационные и управленческие навыки, которые позволили бы им преуспеть не только на академическом, но и на внешнем рынке труда [Cuthbert, Molla, 2015].…”
