Government already supports PhD integration into companies by enhancing connections between tertiary education/research organisations and businesses, in the hope of increasing the flow of knowledge, technology and ideas that have tangible benefits in the form of productivity growth. For example the Technology for Industry Fellowships programme of the Foundation of Research, Science and Technology (FoRST) is designed to support students studying at senior undergraduate level up to PhD level qualifications, with the opportunity to apply their skill and knowledge to a commercially-focused research and technology development project. A PhD fellow is expected to develop a substantial and original contribution to new knowledge in the field of research, and to work within the company premises for at least 50% of the time. Other programmes are less direct in supporting the integration of PhDs into business. However, the focus of such programmes is often on assisting businesses to build capability of, and access to, the benefits of research and development. A stronger focus on research and development capability within and between food and beverage companies will help to make the sector more attractive to PhD graduates (and those with higher level qualifications) and consequently lead to more integration of their skills into the work practices of the company. 43
