Abstract
We describe the use of a career exploration portfolio in an Industrial/Organizational psychology course (n = 22) to address students' career needs and to develop academic competencies. Students independently completed a series of assignments outside of class, which led to the construction of a personalized career development portfolio. Evaluations showed that students were significantly more certain about their career directions at the end of the semester than before and felt better able to implement their career choices. We discuss how career exploration portfolios can be used in other psychology courses.
