CareerZone defines a portfolio as follows:   A portfolio is a way of documenting your achievements in a specific field. They are a way of proving that you can do the things you say you can. Portfolios may include samples of your work, assessment scores, or other evidence of your abilities. The CareerZone folder is aligned with the New York State Education Department (NYSED) Career Plan document. A summary of the completed CareerZone portfolio can printed out as the Career Plan document.  https://nycareerzone.org/text/help/searchhelp.jsp;jsessionid=2171731089412120450
