an account on the website which will provide a specific URL for each user where they can
have the life long access of the e-portfolio by paying certain fees (Morrison 2017). The user

portfolio, companies associated with the platform will post their employ requirements to a
specific job position.

includes the evidence like video files, image, practical projects which have helped the student
to create an effective portfolio based on their skills and experiences in order to address their
desired future goals.
