Career Project: Skills to strengthen Reciprocal Attractiveness between doctors and companies

by Adoc Talent Management

The CAREER project (Skills to strengthen Reciprocal Attractiveness between doctors and companies) has made it possible to highlight the match between the skills developed by doctors and the skills expected by companies. Carried out between September 2010 and January 2012, it involved more than 30 partners (associations, institutions, companies) and 4,500 participants around two questions:

→  What are the skills of doctors?

→  Do these skills meet the needs of the job market?

This project has been the subject of various studies (qualitative and quantitative) specified below and available for download:

Skills and employability of N#1 doctors: Results of the quantitative survey conducted among 4,500 doctors and recruiters carried out as part of the CAREER project on the match between the skills developed in the doctoral program and the needs of the job market.

The PhDetectives survey was realized to better understand the skills and professional careers of PhDs in Canada. This study was aimed at doctoral graduates as well as PhD candidates. PhDetectives also includes a complementary survey which was conducted with employers to define and assess PhDs’ competencies, and to ensure their adequacy in the job market. The objective of this study is to increase the recognition of the doctorate by building accurate indicators about the career path of PhDs and demonstrating the diversity and richness of PhD skills. Further, results from this survey will serve to inform current students about their skills and career opportunities.
