The Keynote Project which was carried out between May 2000 and August 2002 was funded by the HEFCE Fund for the Development of Teaching & Learning (FDTL) Phase 3 following a successful bid by a consortium led by the Nottingham Trent School of Art & Design in partnership with The London Institute and The University of Leeds. The aim of the project was to embed and disseminate good practice in key skill development as a way of enhancing graduate employability and developing the skills of lifelong learning. The project which focused specifically on the subjects of textiles fashion and printing developed a mechanism (a Student Guide to PDP) which enables students to consider their strengths andweaknesses develop a greater awareness of their use of transferable skills and to consider the skills employers wish to see in graduates.
