Portfolio Assignment
Building a Personal and Career Portfolio is a great step in providing evidence of accomplishments that
can be used for employment, applying for admission to a college or university program and even applying
for a scholarship or a bursary. Questions to ask when creating a Portfolio can range from what is a
career portfolio, to what are the steps to developing a career portfolio? Nevertheless, a good portfolio
contains samples of your work that exhibit and reveal the quality and variety of your learning, your
accomplishments, your skills, and your experiences. Therefore, this Portfolio assignment for this course
will be based on both accomplishments inside the class as well as accomplishments outside the class.
For example an inside the class material example would be video footage of your best work, such as the
broadcast assignment and outside the class example would be participating in school club.
