Developing an eportfolio can help you succeed in several ways.

• An ePortfolio can help you reflect on the past and present and plan for the future.

A very important benefit of building an ePortfolio is that it will encourage you to reflect on many things--your life at the Job Corps center, your accomplishments, and your plans for the future.

• Creating an ePortfolio will develop your technology and communication skills.

Using the ePortfolio is itself an opportunity for you to build your technology and writing skills.  It is a password protected online environment where you can store documents of all kinds that you create while in Job Corps.

• Your ePortfolio will allow you to exhibit your accomplishments to Job Corps staff and potential employers.

The Career Portfolio web page is the capstone product in your portfolio.  On this web page, you will present yourself in a very positive way to potential employers. As you create your Career Portfolio Page, you will draw on the entries you have created throughout your stay in Job Corps.  This will allow you to construct a web page that will grab potential employers’ attention and help you get the job you want.
