Career Management Portfolio
Career Management Portfolio and Annotated Table of Contents (350 Points)
There are two components for this Portfolio Project: a career management portfolio (which is to be developed but not submitted) and an annotated career management portfolio table of contents (which will be submitted at the end of Week 8).
Career Management Portfolio
A career management portfolio should be tailored to your individual needs. You will outline your career management portfolio in Week 3 and then structure and expand your portfolio each week through in-class discussions and assignments and out-of-class research. Your career management portfolio is not submitted as an assignment but is intended to be a work-in-progress to be used and developed over a career lifetime. As described in Module 3, the elements of a career management portfolio can include, but are not limited to, the following:
Part 1: Career Planning
Part 2: Career Development Tools
Part 3: Career Management
Career success definition
Skills improvement plan
Professional development plan
Skills inventory
Career goals
Career networking contacts
Current job description
Resumes and bios
Promotion criteria
Achievements (newspaper clippings, certificates)
Letters of recommendation
Mentoring plan
Transcripts
Industry handbook
Industry trends
Volunteer work history
Interview checklists and videos
Workforce trends
Professional memberships
Negotiation skills refreshers
Updated career success definition
Annotated Career Management Portfolio Table of Contents
You will use your career management portfolio to develop an annotated career management portfolio table of contents (TOC), to be submitted at the end of Week 8. The TOC will include the following three parts, as described in Module 3:
Part 1: Career Planning
Part 2: Career Development Tools
Part 3: Career Management
In the annotated TOC, each Part (1, 2, and 3) should contain a list of portfolio elements. For each portfolio element, include the title and a one-paragraph explanation (with credit to sources through citations). Both required and optional portfolio elements will be included in the TOC. Those required elements of the TOC include:
Original and current career success definition
Self-Assessment
Skills Inventory
Career Path
Career Evaluation methods
Career Decision Making and Reflections.
Optional portfolio elements are unlimited, and you are encouraged to expand and adjust the portfolio to meet your individual needs.
Your well-written annotated TOC should also meet the following requirements:
4-8 pages in length
Formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
