Creating an online portfolio
This is an innovative approach to fostering a powerful, direct relationship between companies and students. This would enable companies to pre-assess applicants and applicants to establish an on-going portfolio showcasing their capabilities and their learning-journey.
Aspire Synergies, in connection with DDLETB, formerly known as SOLAS - Fás, has devised a way for companies to view student’s work and progress as they work towards qualification in certain areas of certification. Such certifications include Microsoft Windows 2012 Servers, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ as well as CompTIA Security+.
Being qualified in these certifications/ areas will allow students to be very employable in a great variety of businesses that operate in the IT and technology sector as well as in any other company that has an IT department that employs network, system or security experts.
Companies within the IT sector should find this method of accessing students extremely cost-effective and time-efficient as it allows them to access the student’s portfolio directly at any time and communicate with the student’s mentor in order to get timely, meaningful feedback on the student in question.
Similarly, students are enabled to promote themselves in an equally cost-effective and time-efficient manner. This will be stored as an ever-evolving portfolio which will allow them to add to it easily as they progress through their education and career.
Students will upload online their CV, their transcripts as well as the work which is produced in class such as any technical materials, technical labs, essays and step-by-step guides on how to complete common administrative tasks. The website will be very beneficial for the entire IT community and all those who wish to improve and enhance their competency-base. The website will provide not only technical knowledge but also information relating to the courses offered by the DDLETB Tallaght.
