Abstract	The United Kingdom higher education system is being encouraged to provide opportunities for students to acquire key skills/employability skills and to become better learners with a greater awareness of their individual learning needs, including the need to develop habits that will lead to lifelong learning. A number of issues need to be resolved when making provision for key skills opportunities in degree programs. These are: (1) embedded or taught independently; (2) assessment; (3) accreditation; (4) finding time in the program; (5) staff motivation and development; and (6) centralized or de-centralized provision. Students acquire knowledge and skills through part-time jobs and involvement in student activities, through membership in the many societies and the students' union, and by acting as a course representative. An instrument through which the inputs and activities--key skills and personal development opportunities--can be drawn together is the personal development file in which the student records his/her achievements and reflects upon them, emphasizing what he or she has learned.
