Portfolium Chosen by Rochester Institute of Technology
SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) May 29, 2018 -- Portfolium, the only Student Success Network that connects teachers, students and employers has partnered with the Rochester Institute of technology to help students increase their odds of landing an interview or job offer by strengthening their skills-based portfolios.
RIT students are using Portfolium to demonstrate soft skills such as communication alongside technical skills such as mechanical design and deep learning to maximize their appeal as well-rounded individuals with proven competencies beyond their ability to earn a degree.
In addition to leveraging Portfolium to prepare for the workforce, students benefit from an engaged community of peers and experts who offer praise and support for projects by liking and featuring them as “staff” and "expert picks” as shown here.
“From helping students articulate and prove skills, to encouraging students to engage and persist with their learning, Portfolium is proud to support the full student success lifecycle at RIT,” said Troy Markowitz, VP Academic Partnerships at Portfolium.
