PORT 60 Portfolio – Provincial Level guides students through the creation of a comprehensive portfolio to showcase past and current knowledge, skills, and abilities within a specific theme. Students examine types and purposes of portfolios, document and reflect upon their own experiences, and design and present their portfolio. Portfolios help students in a variety of settings, for example to gain employment or admission to post-secondary programs or to capture experiential learning.
