The goal of your work-based learning portfolio is to provide you with a valuable resource as you transition from the world of academics into the workforce. The required materials in this portfolio can be made available to a prospective employer as a way of providing important information for making a hiring decision. A well-developed portfolio can provide you with an advantage over other job or college applicants. 

Your portfolio can be in the form of a hard copy in a binder or cover, a Google Slide, a Google Site, or another appropriate format. If you use a digital format, make sure all documents are embedded and are accessible to all viewers. It is better to include an image of the document. 

 DO NOT JUST INCLUDE LINKS TO THE DOCUMENTS. Your portfolio should be visually appealing and must include the pages from the actual documents.

Pick up a copy of the Student Self-Assessment of Skills. Complete the form and use Adobe Scan (or another PDF scanning app) to create a PDF copy of the form. Only PDF copies of this document attached to this assignment will receive full credit. Include this document in your portfolio.

Attached is a Google Slides document. Use the magnifying glass (zoom) to make filling the boxes easier. You will use this document to record and submit your monthly reflection. You will need 3 images from your placement as evidence for your on-the-job learning during the month. These can be photos of things you have completed, work you have done, or anything else that can be used as evidence in your portfolio. You can take pictures of people, places, or things to include in your portfolio

You need to attach a screenshot of the completion screen.

Write a cover letter for your resume. The attached document is filled with great information to help you write your cover letter. The purpose of this assignment is to give you the experience of writing a cover letter. This letter can be to a real person to whom you are going to give the letter, a real person two whom you would like to give the letter, or an imaginary person that represents the type of person to whom you want to submit the letter. Here are some ideas for people you could address with your cover letter:
The Dean of Admissions of a college.
The manager of a business to which you are applying for work.
The CEO of the corporation that represents your dream job.
The director of a non-profit with which you want to volunteer.
A company for which you want to intern.

I am going to be emailing your worksite supervisor a google form for them to fill out in regards to your performance this semester. This is in place of me visiting your workplace. Due to unforeseen circumstances I will not be able to do this in person. 
Please fill out the attached form with your supervisors email so that I can send them this over next weeks break.
Have a wonderful week off and Happy Thanksgiving!

Pick up a copy of the List of Responsibilities form. Complete and sign the form. Obtain your work-site supervisor's signature. Use Adobe Scan (or another PDF scanning app on your phone) to create a PDF copy of this document. Only PDF copies attached to this assignment will receive full credit. This must be included in your portfolio.

Obtain one letter of recommendation. 
The letter should be signed and, if applicable, on company letterhead.
You must have one letter of recommendation for each semester you are in work-based learning with a maximum required of three.
Include these letters in your portfolio. 
For full credit, you need to get letters from different types of people. In other words, do not get all of your letters from teachers (a coach can count as a different type of person even if he/she is a teacher).
START ASKING FOR THESE EARLY. TEACHERS ESPECIALLY GET A LOT OF THESE REQUESTS.

OSHA-10 is a requirement for work-based learning. If you have completed OSHA-10, you may submit this assignment empty. I will download a copy of your certificate from Skyward. If you have not completed OSHA-10, please pick up a payment voucher from Dr. Gornto by the due date. You will have one month to complete the certificate for full credit.

The first part of your personalized learning plan (Part A) MUST BE completed before you can begin working in your placement.
