Page 8 - College Prep Workbook

The first exercise in the workbook is the College Prep Portfolio Planner. This exercise is
provided as a method of tracking all the skills you identify while completing the rest of the
exercises. Upon completion of each exercise, you will be reminded to return to your College
Prep Portfolio Planner and fill in all the skills you identified during the exercise. The planner
will become your guide to building your college prep portfolio.

These exercises in this workbook should not be inserted into your career portfolio. They are
to guide you through the portfolio process. Additionally, many of these exercises are
developed so you may continue to add to them throughout your college career and beyond.
