Amidst the rising global job market complexity, the employability of doctoral graduates continues to be a concerning issue for universities, its stakeholders, and policymakers. Traditional doctoral education, largely targeted the generation of academic researchers. This often fell short in equipping graduates with the talents and skills required for secure industrial careers. This paper explores the recent methods adopted in doctoral education aimed at enhancing the industrial employability of PhD holders.

Through observing the scientific and non-scientific secondary sources to identify initiatives and practices from leading establishments worldwide, we observe the key techniques and methodologies that align doctoral education with industrial hiring demands. We execute a thorough literature assessment, case research, and study the open-access data collected in the various doctoral contexts. This revisit covers the existing studies on doctoral training and employability, while creating a success map from diverse institutions. This study provides insights into the perceptions and studies of doctoral candidates and employers regarding the effectiveness of modern training procedures.

Doctoral education has traditionally emphasized upon the advent of new insights via unique studies that commonly make ready graduates for careers in academia. And today with the increasing quantity of PhD graduates and the constrained availability of instructional positions, there is a growing interest for commercial doctoral employability. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of doctoral training applications to include otherwise overlooked approaches which might be surprisingly valued by the industry.
