This resource is ideal for seniors as they finish out their high school career. The e-portfolio is used as an exit interview that bridges the students from the high school marketing program (typically a work-based experience class) to the post-secondary level. The students create the e-portfolio in class, but present the e-portfolio to the admissions or student services staff of a local technical college. There are certain components, however, that are covered previously in the school year (such as the personality type assessment that is included). In order to prepare for the interview, students write out the ideal answers to common interview questions.

This lesson is designed to follow the Getting Started With SAEs lesson. The objective is to move students from starting their SAE project to developing the next level of skills and competencies in the intermediate level of performance indicators. The students will continue to work on their Foundational SAE project based on their career interest, but research topics at the intermediate level. The teacher may choose to only use the Foundational SAE project or they can also include an immersion SAE project that students keep track of their time, income and expenses over the course of the class. The students will participate in weekly assignments for their Foundational SAE and if they are completing an immersion SAE they will keep track of their hours each week. Starting SAE projects in the classroom should be simple for the teacher and students. Minimum expectations that can still produce success for all students would be tracking 1-hour of SAE time per week, exploring one career topic per week, and recording one financial entry per month. A final report or project at the end of the class would also be a minimum expectation for all students.
