What is the IoA Portfolio?

The IoA Portfolio is your personalized, professional space to record and showcase the data and digital skills you've built over time.

Whether you're applying for your first job, changing careers, seeking a promotion or looking to employ someone with data skills, our Portfolio provides a guided framework to help both individuals and organisations make better decisions.

Unlike a traditional CV, the IoA Portfolio is more about skills and less about job title. It's designed for today's project-based, fast charging world of work where knowing what someone can do practically goes hand-in-hand with qualifications.
