This page is designed to look like a card index and appears to be made of textured paper. The main part of the page is lemon-yellow, other parts of it are pale blue. It has tags across the top and cut out shapes down the left hand side. The links appear to be written on these. The Bridging the Gap logo is at the top. This shows through a cut out section of the page.

The last round of completed Innovations Projects (details below) was under the general theme of graduate employability. The development work was undertaken by a cross section HEIs and independent consultants. The projects contain much information that is highly relevant to HEIs in 2001 and beyond. A good knowledge of the Innovations Projects and their outcomes can be invaluable in the minimising of unnecessary development work and costs around education for graduate employability.
The focus of this research and development has been on preparation for work of students and recent graduates, and their transition from HE to the workplace. A recent independent evaluation has reported that the projects have been effective in helping HEIs respond to the changing needs of the labour market. Ideas have been generated which are widely replicable and sustainable; helpful products and materials have been developed.
The Bridging the Gap Project has been established to promote the dissemination of the findings of the Innovations Projects, and hence to promote good practice.
