Career-path support

摘要

US universities, federal policy-makers and employers must coordinate their efforts to improve the career paths of postgraduates, according to a report by the US Council of Graduate Schools and the Educational Testing Service, both in Washington DC. Pathways Through Graduate School and Into Careers calls for universities to offer professional-skills development training, information on non-academic careers and tracking of career outcomes. More employers need to offer student-training programmes such as internships, help to foster graduate programmes tailored to workforce needs and support employees' graduate study. The report also calls for US visa policies that help to retain international talent.
