Career Portfolio
When do I start my portfolio?
You will start building your portfolio in 11th grade with the assistance of your instructor and the classroom assistant. Some programs find it more valuable to begin in 10th grade.
Why do I create a portfolio?
It is a place to keep all the data that reflects you personally and professionally. You may show portions of the content to a co-op employer, at an interview for a full-time job, and it is yours to take home with you when you graduate. It also fulfills 339 and Career Education Work Standards for this school and provides artifacts for your sending school as proof of your education.
