—Useful in an
academic and professional
setting; shows the efforts or steps
taken to complete a specific
project or independent study.
For example, if you have the
experience of producing a school
play, you would create a
portfolio that incorporated the
materials and research that was
involved. If you wanted to apply
for a grant in order to do another
play then you could use your
portfolio as a form of proof that
you did a good job and would be
a prime candidate to receive the
requested grant.
