This document discusses building career portfolios for employability in Manitoba. It outlines the essential skills needed for employability, including reading, writing, numeracy, computer skills, oral communication, problem solving, and working with others. An essential skills ePortfolio program is proposed to help job seekers reflect on and gather evidence of their skills, organize it into themes, and ultimately build confidence and improve their resumes and interviews. The program would be adapted for an online format to take advantage of features like information management, measurability, sharing, and collaboration. Vision is discussed for a lifelong career portfolio system in Manitoba accessible to all through partnerships between stakeholders. Implementation steps and moving forward are also outlined.
