Australian doctoral graduates’ career transition from academia to industry: the PCAP internship competence framework
本研究基于能力本位理论，通过对澳大利亚研究生实习项目中26名参与者的半结构化访谈，提出了PCAP框架，包含博士能力、情境能力、适应能力和项目管理能力四个交互集群，帮助博士毕业生顺利从学术界转向产业界。
PhD graduates often face significant hurdles when shifting from academic research to industry positions. Challenges can arise from a disconnect between the skill sets developed in university and those prized in industry settings. To address this issue, this study examines the crucial competences necessary for PhD graduates to make a successful transition from academia to industry. Grounded in Competency-Based Theory (CBT), the research involved qualitative data collection through semi-structured interviews with 26 participants from the Australian Postgraduate Research Intern program. The paper proposes the PCAP framework as an innovative tool for managing PhD internships. It delineates four interactive clusters of competences: PhD competences (P), Contextual competences (C), Adaptation competences (A), and Project Management competences (P). The paper argues that proficiency across these interactive clusters is indispensable for PhD graduates aiming for a seamless transition into industry roles.
