Portfolio Development

    Students collect their professional documents created in class, on the job, in other classes, and from various activities both in and out of school. They are given 3-ring binders and sheet protectors and create a portfolio they can use for future use in job searches, college admissions, and scholarship applications, or they can keep it even as a keepsake.
