Career Portfolios and Graduation Projects

Career Portfolios

A Career Portfolio is a tool for students to help them think through and plan for their future education and career. The PA Career Education and Work Standards require all students to have a career portfolio beginning in the 8th grade and continuing until graduation.

Career Portfolios can be either electronic or paper and pencil. Below are some resources to assist you in developing a career portfolio for your students.
