Table 5 Key quotes from participants which indicate that transferable skills were not solely caused by PLTL
Participant’s current position | Quotes |
|---|---|
Economics consultant | “I wouldn’t say necessarily gave me a ton of transferable skills but what it did give me is the ability to talk about the technical things better to practice and master it all my three years and I think that employers would recognize the fact that I am able to articulate technical concepts and that I have practiced math because I have to teach it.” |
Business development/IP manager | “I know for me as I said it’s more a part of my personality you know to take up those roles and feel driven by it” |
Product development associate | “So yeah PLTL did influence that (my TA position in graduate school). To my current position, I can’t say it may have indirectly impacted that but not directly.” |
