Literally… - A publication: WORK OF ART: Understanding Enterprise & Employability in Art & Design Higher Education - A publication created to support learning and teaching in enterprise and employability in art and design higher education.  We hope by sharing what enterprise and employability looks like in practice we can engage in discourse, develop an understanding across disciplines and use these aspirations to develop future strategies across UAL and within art and design practice.
