Graduate Development Toolkit (GDT) The primary purpose of the GDT is to encourage SME employers to offer undergraduate
students work placements and graduates permanent employment. GDT offers SME employers easy to use guidance, processes and template documents to help them recruit, pay and develop undergraduates and graduates effectively. The four working sections of
GDT also offer guidance to undergraduate students, graduates and higher education staff. https://www.graduatedevelopmenttoolkit.com
