Prepare a biography of an individual who you recognize as having achieved success, giving

attention to how early achievements impact subsequent success OR find a link to an online

video that documents a successful person.


Employability Skills Portfolio (ESP):

For the next report card you need to complete the second of four steps toward

completing the ESP project.

All we need to see is the folder full of items that you will eventually organize into your

Employability Skills Portfolio. Write the items you have collected on the outside of the

folder. List each item according to the category from the checklist; Basic Skills,

Teamwork, OR Personal Management

The construction of your employability skills portfolio speaks not just to your future but

somewhat to your past as well. This project will require you to think about your

employability skills and your portfolio while you are working on your other courses. Put

a sizeable effort into this project. Also you should realize that this project is one of the

more practical assignments you will have in your school life as you need to have a

resume to apply for even a summer job. Those of you who plan to go on to post

secondary education will most likely need to have a summer job, work placements and

possibly part time work for much of the foreseeable future.

• Students should include a copy of their personal achievement listing (following page) in their ESP.

Achievements enhance your current life choices, and will benefit you in

the neighbour kids …. Set a goal and make it, join a gym….
