Students Use Digital Portfolios to Build Career Paths
Digital portfolios are one of the best places for career exploration and execution. It’s no wonder they’re required for all CTE students by the Federal Perkins guidelines. Though digital portfolios should be required for all students in general.
It’s difficult to determine a career path, especially with an increasing amount of occupations. Starting a digital portfolio early in an academic career uncovers passions, talents, skills—and most importantly, direction.
Take a look at a few bulb digital portfolios from CTE students, successfully differentiating themselves to land a job in some of today’s most competitive industries.

Trebuchet project
No matter the career field, we know the importance of process and outline for outcome. bulb acknowledges that in its design. And teachers are capable of mimicking practical job skills and applications when creating their projects.
Like this trebuchet example—which shows every step of the process from the design to the final report.
But any project can follow the above outline. In fact, we already made the template for you. Get creative; build a project for the upcoming year.
