2. Seek opportunities for professional development: Grade 11 learners can also build their career portfolio by seeking out opportunities for professional development. This can include attending workshops, seminars, or webinars to develop new skills or deepen their understanding of a particular subject. They can also seek out internships, volunteer work, or part-time jobs to gain practical experience in their desired career field. By documenting their experiences and reflecting on what they have learned, learners can demonstrate their commitment to their career goals and their readiness for further education or employment.
