The skilled graduate must become the most important outcome of research training in
Australia as it is in many other parts of the world urges a new report by the Australian
Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA).
The findings from the ACOLA review of the Australian research training system suggest that
universities need to better serve the needs of doctoral graduates. The report provides
recommendations for how to help better connect research students and graduates with
industry.
With fewer than 50% of Australian doctoral graduates being employed in the university sector,
industry experience and training that better equip graduates for jobs beyond universities are
essential.
The report calls for transferable skills to be central to the training of doctoral candidates. Such
skills development must be flexible and candidate-directed, and build on the diverse
backgrounds and experience of candidates.
