A changing employer environment
• Competency Frameworks
• Appraisal and feedback
• Performance Management
• Self Assessment

Roberts’ Report 2002• “Many employers do not initially pay those
with PhDs any more than they would a new graduate, viewing the training (particularly in transferable skills) that PhD students receive as inadequate preparation for careers in business R&D.”
• “Institutions are not adapting quickly enough to the needs of industry”

Joint Skills Statement & Recording
UK research councils devised a list of skills research students should gain
The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) adopted this list and made it a requirement that research students should be able to record these skills
