1026-4           SELECTING PHOTOS FOR THE PORTFOLIO

The Portfolio is developed by selecting photos that demonstrate information presented. All photos need to reinforce the capability of the client/job seeker and show him/her in the best light. Photos may be of the client/job seeker, or of something they have produced or accomplished.

Examples:

“Organizes charts, files and supplies” - Example photo: Client categorizing books, paperwork, items on a shelf.
“Uses intricate tools to assemble equipment” - Example photo: Client using a screwdriver or other tool to put together a piece of furniture.
“Accomplished in leading roles in school plays” - Example photo: Picture from high school yearbook.
“Honored as Employee of the Month” - Example photo: Client holding certificate.

• The JD Job Developer works collaboratively with the CM Case Manager, the DS Discovery Services and the client/job seeker to compile and select photos that best represent written information in the Portfolio.

• In addition to selecting photos, the team provides feedback to the JD, as to written content that best matches the client/job seeker’s contributions and conditions that were identified through Discovery. The written content may be revised based on team input, and the final approval of the client/job seeker.

• The JD proceeds to develop and finalize the Portfolio based on the team’s decisions.
