The Vocational portfolio template is designed to gather evidence of skills. We've structured it to have just a few welcome pages and then a separate section for each skill area you might need learners to gather evidence for.
In the vocational portfolio template we've included tasks to support learners to think about what different things might "count" as evidence of skills or having met learning outcomes.
Learners then plan how they will generate or gather this evidence.
Below is an example task where learners can record a conversation (or their reflections) with their mentor/tutor/employer. Learners can listen back to their recording at any time to remind themselves of what they need to do.
Next, learners can upload their evidence in this task below. In these file upload tasks learners can:
upload multiple files
upload files of a range of types (e.g. .docx, .pdf, .jpg)
upload files from their device (e.g. smart phone, tablet) or cloud storage (e.g. google drive, dropbox, onedrive)
save the task as draft and keep adding more evidence as they get it
![Evidence of skills task: Upload evidence of [subskill]. This might include things like: Your work - Images or videos of work you've completed that show this skill. Your process - Images or videos of work processes that best capture how you completed things. For example rough drawing or calculations. Your notes - Your thoughts or reflections on a particular project. You can save as draft and then keep adding evidence as you get it.](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/514916100/f933d699a32d16f2073eadd7/image+%288%29.png?expires=1731125700&signature=f621844ee3014651d623cf70ef509f4d57f3d28845363c73ffca64e56558d4c3&req=cSEjH8h4nIFfFb4f3HP0gC6escimw8v51ygt8XfaOSlYJ6swX8y3hQyz8TC2%0AnrEmvdCTLg%2ByH4pHZA%3D%3D%0A)
Finally, there is an example task to support learners to self assess. This may help them to realise they need more (or different) evidence.
![Self assessment task: Use the matrix below as a self-assessment of your evidence for the learning outcome. [Include additional details/examples to help learners self-assess.] With a matrix of Beginning, Competent and Expert.](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/514916486/b1914756b61e2b5bd370063c/image.png?expires=1731125700&signature=acf260ab193174f065e79f75f1a2763f81a52035a30ee3bd4705d3899a70b114&req=cSEjH8h4mYlZFb4f3HP0gC1gIWXGPoNSWttl9amLUatRwKcait03BjWpuLU4%0A0B4RCiXTWH6ZBlmTag%3D%3D%0A)
This structure can then be repeated for each other skill area learners need to plan and gather evidence for.
