Oral and written communication skills are also valuable. Work done in industry needs to be technically clear and understandable to non-experts in the field such as management. Not only will this be good speaking practice, it will help you increase your network of contacts. These contacts will be important when you are expanding your research interests, applying for grant money, and looking for job opportunities. Also, where possible, work on group projects to gain experience in the team approach to solving problems.
Interdisciplinary teams are the norm in industry.
