What kind of portfolio can students build using STEM Premier?

Students can build a permanent professional portfolio using STEM Premier, which is designed to showcase their skills, experiences, and accomplishments in a structured manner. This type of portfolio allows students to curate a comprehensive collection of their academic and professional journeys, including coursework, certifications, projects, and other relevant achievements.

A permanent professional portfolio is beneficial because it serves as a long-term record that can be updated with new accomplishments as the student progresses in their academic and career paths. This portfolio can also be used when applying for jobs, internships, or college programs, effectively demonstrating the student's readiness and qualifications to potential employers and academic institutions.

In contrast, other types of portfolios, such as temporary or academic portfolios, may not provide this same enduring value or comprehensive representation of a student's journey. A project-based portfolio focuses specifically on individual projects rather than a holistic view of one's professional development, making it less applicable for students looking to document their overarching accomplishments for future opportunities.
