Where to Start?

You want to create an ePortfolio, for yourself, your community or organisation and you wonder: where to start?
When do you need an ePortfolio?
An ePortfolio can be used during the different episodes of one's life, from school to further and higher education, to find or create your own job, to support your continuing professional development, get the competencies acquired informally in work and life, transfer your knowledge, expertise and wisdom to the next generation.
What are the Benefits of ePortfolios?
ePortfolios are used in a variety of contexts, from initial education to support learning processes and assessment, to lifelong learning and employment, managing one's career as employee, freelance worker or entrepreneur.
How can ePortfolios Help to Find a Job?
Finding a job is not just about finding an employer. ePortfolios are also for those who are/want to be in self-employment or find partners to create a business or a social enterprise.
How to manage your career with an ePortfolio?
One of the most common misconception for an employability or career ePortfolio is that it is used to find an employer. A career ePortfolio is meant to support your career as an employee as well as an entrepreneur or a self-employed person.
Planning the Development of a Career ePortfolio
Your first objective should be to make visible what you have learnt, and what you can do, for your future employer, clients (if you want to be self-employed) or partners and investors (if you want to create your own business). Defining the type of career path you are aiming for will dictate the type and style of Career ePortfolio.
