With increasing numbers of well-qualified graduates looking for employment each year, it is crucial that you are able to identify the skills that you have to offer (academic, work-related, personal and transferable) and that you can provide evidence of where you have acquired and/or applied them.  It is here that Personal Development Planning (PDP) comes in.  Your PDP can help you to keep track of what you have learned and what skills you have developed but it can also help you to identify what skills and attributes you need to develop in order to achieve your ambitions.
