What are the benefits of PDP/NUPAD processes and how do they contribute to employability?
The benefits to learners of recording, reviewing and reflecting processes have been recognised in the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) policy guidelines to all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on supporting and embedding PDP/NUPAD for all students. PDP/NUPAD is designed to promote an individual’s awareness and articulation of what and how they are learning, to increase their ability to set clear goals, and to take responsibility for their own learning, thus aiding progression and achievement. It is a tool for academic success, but the attributes it fosters are also crucial for continuing professional development, lifelong learning, and successful career management. Activities supporting PDP/NUPAD therefore make a real contribution to enhanced employability, and help foster student engagement. Core support resources are now located in the PDP module on NILE and the external site at http://pdp.northampton.ac.uk. Resources include subject specific material for fifteen discipline areas,
