Dear Students,

Click on the word "Professionalism," in order to obtain your notes on your portfolio. By the end of the semester we will have gone over all of the segments of this presentation and you will have a complete working portfolio, that can be used for job interviews as well as applications for schools and apprenticeships. This tool is something that you will be able to use long after you graduate from West High School.

Good Luck,

Ms. Smith
