You want to apply for an IT job when you finish your BTEC course and you’ve heard that a local company, Konnekted, recruits IT apprentices. As part of your job application, you are going to produce a digital portfolio so that the company can see the work that you can produce. You know that potential employers will want to see a range of your work, such as written documents, images (still and moving), audio tracks, programmes and systems that you have created during your course. The range of work you produce will show how suited to the job you are.

You can also include any other relevant activities that you have done, such as other courses or qualifications, activities completed for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, community work you have undertaken and any other achievements, as well as details about yourself.

Your digital portfolio needs to impress the people at Konnekted and, if necessary, other employers, as you are sure that there will be other people applying for the apprentice positions. Therefore, it is important that your portfolio shows that you have all the skills required for the role.

Your digital portfolio will be hosted on a server and employers like Konnekted will be able to access it through a web browser. It will be made up of a number of linked web pages. All of the content will need to be in a format suitable for displaying on the web. The portfolio will have a main page, which the other pages will link to.

You will need to split your portfolio into different sections based on the different content you have created. The portfolio must include work from all your completed units in the course.
