Abstract(s)

In the Polytechnic Institute of Setubal (IPS), in Portugal, we have a long history of using portfolios in student-centred and competence-based education. Participation in Empowering ePortfolio Process (EEP) project, has enabled us to explore and develop digital portfolios. EPortfolios can improve practices in higher education, act as mediation spaces for students promoting self-consciousness and self-determination, as well as develop competences and attitudes for life (Pires, Rodrigues & Pessoa 2018). According to our common analysis of students’ perspectives on ePortfolios, we can say that students recognize the added value of them, but also consider using them to be a challenge (Kunnari, Laurikainen, Pires & Rodrigues 2017). Providing other perspectives to the discussion is essential. This article aims to shed light to employers’ point of view – how can ePortfolios promote employment?
