USE YOUR SKILLS
BEYOND THE LEARNING BRIEF.
A portfolio gives you something concrete to share when you pursue work. Explore the pathways that fit your skills and interests, then check the requirements of each opening.
Ways to apply your skills.
Freelance projects
Present relevant work when responding to a client brief. Understand the scope, revisions, payment and delivery terms before accepting an assignment.
Internships and employment
Use projects to explain what you can do and where you want to develop. Employers set their own eligibility and selection criteria.
Work in your current role
Apply the skills to an authorised task in your organisation. Agree how data, tools and outputs should be used.
Independent projects
Build something that solves a problem you understand. Test the idea, gather feedback and improve it before extending its use.
