Welcome to Employment Portfolio WebQuests
As a SPOKES student, you will begin developing an employment portfolio beginning your first week in class. This WebQuest was designed to assist you with developing your portfolio with internet resources, while also combining the information with small projects and activities that also incorporate 21st century skills.
What is an Employment Portfolio?
An employment portfolio is a marketing tool used to educate potential employers about your skills and abilities. This site provides information on portfolio basics and how to introduce your portfolio to an employer:

Credentials
The tabs on the left side include resources to develop a resume, references, and a cover letter. This will help you get started with your employment portfolio. Other areas are also highlighted to help prepare you for the interview process and writing thank you letters to interviewers. The very last two tabs provide links for learning how to use the 21st century skills and technology included in the lessons. Please remember to provide feedback when you have completed the activities.
