The eCareer Portfolio course is an amazing tool that will enhance your professional identity as well as walk you through the steps of career planning. It gave me confidence about what I can do with my degree, and how I will prepare myself for the position I want to pursue. As a nursing student, I explored the career paths I could take aside from the basic route, how to get there, and where to find resources. The course will benefit me in the future because I’ll be referring back to a career map I created, my interview results from informational interviews, and the valuable lessons shared by the course coordinators!

The eCareer Portfolio program presents students with a valuable opportunity to establish professional connections and refine essential skills, such as verbal and written communication. Moreover, the program also provides excellent support through the Career Service staff and student consultants, who play a pivotal role in supporting students through their projects and offering guidance. As someone who initially had limited experience interacting with industry professionals and discussing my employment history, I now feel confident in articulating my skills and experiences because, through the program, I have learned how to transform my experiences into skills sought after by employers.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for offering this opportunity to me as it has really helped me set myself aside from other soon to be graduates. After attending some events this past semester, some people actually reached out to me and were super impressed with my ePortfolio! It was definitely worth all the time and effort 1000 % !
