What is a portfolio? A portfolio is a way of documenting your achievements in a specific field. They are a way of proving that you can do the things you say you can. Portfolios may include samples of your work, assessment scores, or other evidence of your abilities. The two main types are Job portfolios and Learning portfolios. As you might guess from the names, Job portfolios focus on your work history and are designed to help you get or advance within a job, while Learning portfolios focus on your abilities as a student. The CareerZone portfolio is primarily a learning portfolio, but we also pull in features commonly found in a Job portfolio. In this way we develop what we like to consider a Career portfolio. A Career portfolio helps you combine a Learning portfolio with the best features of a Job portfolio, and points out how the things you’ve learned as a student relates to the work of work.
On the following pages you’ll find many activities designed to help you understand why your education is so important now, and give you ideas of how to use it in the future. We needed some personal information from you to register you in the system, but we won’t share it with anyone without your permission. As a CareerZone portfolio user, only people who know your password will have access to your portfolio; so do not share it with anyone and keep it in a safe place.
