DOCPRO: THE PHD SKILLS REFERENCE SYSTEM FOR BRINGING TOGETHER DOCTORS (PHD HOLDERS) AND COMPANIES
DocPro offers PhD holders, companies, doctoral schools and laboratories a vision of the skills that a PhD candidate develops at different stages of their career. This tool is the result of a dialogue between participants from the academic and economic worlds.
ITS OBJECTIVES?
By offering a full description of the skills of doctors (PhDs), DocPro meets a 3 needs:
- to advance the idea that a PhD holder, trained through a scientific research, is a professional with all the skills and personal qualities necessary to meet the expectations of companies;
- to bring the worlds of research and business closer together by developing shared vocabulary;
- to facilitate communication between PhD holders open to work and recruiters.
A common referral system for PhD holders and businesses
For companies, innovation, inventiveness and adaptability to a complex and changing world of multiple crises is a major challenge. Doctors (Ph.D. holders) have these very abilities. The practice of research, during the completion of their PhD program and then throughout their career, allows these scientists to develop methods, creativity, and an ability to understand complex problems, which are particularly valuable for companies, regardless of their size or the sector in which they operate.
This is why three partners formed a working group composed of experts from the economic sector (business leaders, representatives of MEDEF - network of entrepreneurs in France, and professional organizations) and the academic sector (directors of doctoral schools, representatives of France Universités, communities of universities and institutions, and grandes écoles). This working group was led by ABG.
This work has resulted in the development of an operational tool to:
- PhD holders who wish to build their arguments for their job search or to evaluate themselves in their professional progression;
- Managers and recruiters interested in having a reference profile in order to better understand the full potential of a doctoral career;
- Academic managers (director of a doctoral school, university vice-president, head of professional integration, laboratory director, etc.), who wish to strengthen the preparation of PhD candidates for the labour market.
