WHAT IS THE "MY SLC WEBFOLIO"?
The Webfolio is a tool available to all St. Lawrence students to help you think about your future goals and where you are headed. You have the possibility of building online a professional portfolio. The Webfolio was developed by l'Université Laval's job placement center (SPLA) to help future job seekers put forth their strengths, abilities, experience, and goals when meeting employers.
Even though many CEGEP students pursue studies after they graduate, completing certain parts of the portfolio proves useful when you want to accurately describe your skills, interests, values, and goals. It can help you figure out sooner what you would actually like to do and what you might need to reach your goals.
As a CEGEP student, to get the most out of this tool if you are planning further studies before entering the job market, complete the exercises that are designed to help you get to know yourself better. Other interesting feature: Students have access to REPÈRES (online database on educational programs and careers). You have to go in the section "Understanding the Job Market" and then click on "employment titles" in the left-hand menu. You will then see a link for REPÈRES. If you need help using this tool or simply want to discuss your profile, you can speak with Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor. You can also read this guide that explains how to use the Webfolio at the collegial level.
