Chronicle of Higher Education : In Canada as in some other countries, universities graduate more PhD-holding researchers than can be employed in academia. Recognizing that gap, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada has created the Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program, which gives research professors money to provide young researchers with professional skills, such as business acumen, communication, and leadership. Jennifer Lewington reports for the Chronicle that even researchers who intend to remain in academia have found the program helpful.
