Do You Have Your Accreditation Portfolio?
What is an Accreditation Portfolio?
An Accreditation Portfolio is a collection of documents such as comparative evaluation, assessment of foreign credentials, work history, and other documents with the purpose of getting professional recognition in Canada. It is a powerful tool to help you gain the competitive edge in the Canadian job market!
You can put in your unique portfolio:
- A resume
- Documents and certificates about your education and training
- Testimonials from employers which confirm your specific skills
- Photographs, drawings, videos etc.
Benefits to Internationally Trained Individuals
Developing an Accreditation Portfolio will help you enhance your career in many ways. The Accreditation Portfolio:
- Identifies areas of your strength and areas of development
- Demonstrates your skills and capabilities
- Promotes recognition of your foreign credentials and international achievements
- Increases professionalism and confidence
An Accreditation Portfolio is different than other portfolios because it is designed to focus on the specific needs of Internationally Trained Individuals. Moreover, an Accreditation Portfolio addresses the needs of regulatory bodies and is consistent with the concepts of PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition).
