To enhance the employability of PhD holders outside of academia [7], manyprograms implemented seminars, courses, and training for developing ‘soft skills’ (e.g.,communication, teamwork, problem solving, critical and innovative thinking, creativity, self-confidence, ethical understanding, capacity of lifelong learning, the ability to cope withuncertainty [8]).
