> > Skills plus is an approach to employability that:
> > - Concentrates on low-pain, high-gain strategies;
> > - Treats employability as a curriculum issue;
> > - Is concerned to promote good learning in subject areas;
> > - Goes beyond the view that employability = possession of a fistful of
> key skills
> >
> > The Skills plus approach, worked out in Manchester, Liverpool John
> Moores, Manchester Metropolitan and Lancaster universities, will be
> explored in this conference.
> >
> > Professor David Auckland's keynote presentation, Undergraduates,
> Entrepreneurship and Employability, extends the range. It is complemented
> by Dr. Anthony Hesketh's report, Employability and getting the first
> graduate job, which presents some findings from a current ESRC-funded
> project.
