It’s Time to Showcase Yourself
A Career Portfolio is a tool to help people plan, organize, and document work samples and skills.

A career portfolio is a collection of information each person designs and creates to present the best of themselves to other people. In a hard copy binder or electronic form, a career portfolio helps individuals organize skills and abilities to market themselves to others:

  • for job interviews

  • to compete for internships

  • to track and quantify internship experience

  • to  compete for scholarships

  • in performance reviews

  • in promotions and career shifts

Using a portfolio can help you get a job, get a higher starting salary, show transferable skills, track personal development, and position yourself for advancement.

What’s in a Career Portfolio?

Career Portfolios contain:

  • Goals and Values
  • Resume
  • Skill Areas including: Work Samples, Letters of Recommendation, Skill Sets, Works in Progress
  • Certifications, Diplomas, Degrees, or Awards
  • Community Service
  • Professional Memberships and Service
  • Academic Plan of Study
  • Faculty and Employer Biographies

Creating Your Career Portfolio At-A-Glance Guides

For over 20 years Learnovation has been promoting Career Portfolios as a way to identify, document, and showcase skills for student success and gainful employment. Way before ePortfolios became mainstream, we’ve been helping students, professionals, at-risk youth, veterans, ex-offenders, dietitians and entry workers use all their skills to succeed – professionally and personally.​Our first book – Creating Your Career Portfolio At-A-Glance Guide for Students started a trend to help people see all the things they do and how they can be used to advance a career. Now, 21 years later, our Students book is in it’s 4th edition and we’ve branched out to meet the career portfolio needs of targeted groups with our At-A-Glance Guide for Dietitians, 2ed, At-A-Glance Guide for Professionals, and the At-A-Glance BASICS. We’ve expanded the series with workbooks, geared to different groups to help people identify and track their transferable skills and assess the skills they need to reach a target job. Our books give you the HOW-TO…

It’s your career, your life, and your future.

How Well Do You Know Yourself?

If you’re a college student- take the opportunity to explore careers, identify the skills you need to thrive in your chosen career, document your skills, and take charge of your own learning. The most significant factor in your career success comes down to how well you know yourself– What knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies do you have, and how do you use these for your well-being? You’re not just learning skills to get a job- you are creating a toolbox of knowledge and skills that can transfer into your work and personal life to give you a sense of purpose, help you engage in your community, and be well-rounded financially, physically, and socially.

We give you the steps to picking the right samples, assembling and using your career portfolio – customized to you.

Career portfolios are for Life

Career Portfolios shouldn’t disappear once you have a job. Learn how to use your career portfolio to document your achievements on the job, prep for reviews, justify a raise and compete for promotions. When you’re ready to shift gears, use your career portfolio to demonstrate your transferable skills in a new career field.

What Can a Career Portfolio Do For Me?

People learn to recognize their strengths and emphasize them in a career portfolio.
With a career portfolio people learn where their weaknesses are and how to compensate for them. Students and clients can take their portfolio to their interview and show a potential employer or manager samples of their work. Show them their certificates, things they’ve done to serve the community, etc. Show them why an employer needs them or why they should be promoted. Use the portfolio to stress their strengths in different areas. By simply highlighting their strengths with tangible documentation, they have the very realistic opportunity to improve their rate of pay, promotions, and bonuses. When a superior can see viable examples of their skills, abilities, and achievements, they are more likely to agree with their requests and note their value.
Competition’s tough in the job market. A personalized portfolio can help you stand out from the crowd.
A career portfolio provides a very good foundation to show a person’s true worth to a company. So much so that potential employers may be willing to choose your client/student over more convenient candidates simply because they were able to provide them with clean organized documentation of their skills, abilities, and achievements.
Make an ePortfolio count! So many eportfolios document classroom achievements, but how do you use an ePortfolio to sell yourself in the job market?
Get step-by-step instructions for taking an existing ePortfolio and transforming it into a marketing tool to help get an internship, scholarship, job, or promotion. Instead of being a chore to maintain, it becomes your proof that you have what it takes to do the job.
