Lesson 02Portfolio management
Ms. Ishara Weerasinghe

Portfolios are used to show your skills, work and what you achieved. In jobs, they help to prove what you can do and support you when asking for promotion. Creative people like artists or writers use it to show their style and past works. Students use it to check their own progress, and teachers use it to show how they improved. Freelancers also use it to get clients by showing old projects. It also has trainings, certificates and new skills inside. Portfolios help with performance reviews, changing jobs, meeting people, and even when pitching business ideas. There are different types like personal, job-focused, learning or professional portfolios. Websites like LinkedIn, Behance and WordPress make it easy to build and share them online.
