PORTFOLIO

Career portfolios provide evidence of your knowledge and skills related to your course of study and desired career path. Developing a portfolio can be a valuable career awareness and career planning activity, and it is very useful in building self-confidence toward the job search. A portfolio can be broadly defined to include almost anything: résumés, transcripts, reference letters, awards, career philosophy, work-related projects, and so forth. If your college or university does not have a formal portfolio development program for students, create one on your own!
