Exploring Electronic Career Portfolios: A Guide for Students

Electronic Career Portfolios (ECPs) are organized collections that showcase students' accomplishments, skills, and experiences, both in and out of school. They allow students to document their journey in career development, providing a platform to conduct self-assessments, present exemplary projects, and reflect personally on their growth. ECPs facilitate career exploration and organization, helping students prepare for scholarship applications, job searches, and future educational pursuits. Using tools like Career Cruising, students can easily create and manage their portfolios online.
