The DkIT Embedding Employability project represents the latest step in the Institute’s commitment to our graduates’ employability.
Funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, as part of their Strategic Alignment for Teaching & Learning Enhancement Fund 2019, the project has offered staff, students, and employers an opportunity to exchange employability best practice Institute-wide and to voice-together their vision of the DkIT graduate.
We have aimed to highlight the best examples of employability activities across the Institute and enhance them through a series of project outputs. Among these are a set of DkIT graduate attributes, a framework to guide the Institute, and a toolkit for staff.
This process of collaboration with these key stakeholders has informed the development of an authentic set of DkIT graduate attributes and a bespoke DKIT employability framework. This project has provided a valuable showcase and roadmap for employability at DkIT, and has delivered the following:
