Graduate employers consistently tell us that they are looking for graduates who display not only technical skills but also those referred to as non-technical or employability skills. These include communication, self-management, and the ability to work in team and to learn from mistakes. ePortfolios act as a record of your individual learning and perhaps more importantly your progress in learning. It assists you when preparing for graduate employment interviews or jobs while you are studying.

At Deakin we are innovating in the use of ePortfolios in the Accounting and Financial Planning majors, so this is a starting point in creating your own individual ePortfolio. And remember, that this is your resource so think about entering other ‘employability-related activities’ that are outside of the formal learning of your degree. Employers want to know about these initiatives almost as much as they do about the grades in your degree.
