Career Portfolio Development

Program Overview

This capstone course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of portfolio development and is the capstone course for the Early Childhood Studies Certificate. A portfolio is a collection of student work that allows students to reflect on their own progress and create a tool that demonstrates a student's skills and learning progress. Students refine their accomplishments, create professional identities, develop résumés, and learn interviewing skills. Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.

This is a non-credit, workforce development course — a lower-cost way to build practical skills without enrolling in a full degree program. It's a good fit for anyone changing careers, brushing up on skills for a current job, or exploring the subject before committing to a credit-bearing program.

Coursework is delivered online through SUNY Niagara's learning platform and runs the length of the semester, with topics building week to week. Upon successful completion, students receive a Certification of Completion to document their coursework.
