We’re excited to announce that the University of Georgia Career Center has adopted Portfolium, our new digital portfolio network. We’re joining 200+ other colleges and universities in selecting Portfolium, which already serves over 3.5 million students and graduates across all majors. Here’s why we’re so excited about this new initiative:
Your work and projects are undeniable proof of your skills – Portfolium will help you learn and allow you to display the top skills graduate schools and employers want.
