Give student portfolios meaning
Built for students
FirstBucks is a place where high school and university students build their own portfolio of skills and projects. We give them a tool that serves as proof of their abilities for future employers and further studies.
What a student portfolio looks like
A profile instead of a CV
School, field of study, languages, certificates and work experience, all in one place. The profile works as an online CV with all the details students use to present themselves.
Posts
Students build their portfolio from their own posts, in which they record their work and projects. They simply add a text description, photos, images or documents to them.
Competency profile
To every post they upload, students simply assign the skills they picked up while working on it. Both the school and the student get a clear overview of how their abilities develop over time.
Their profile in their own hands
Students always have their profile at hand and decide for themselves what goes into it. Their portfolio doesn’t end when they leave school; they take it with them into the future.
Data visibility
For every piece of information and every post, students decide for themselves who can see it. They can choose whether the content is visible to everyone, only to school representatives, or kept completely private.
Profile discoverability
The profile can easily be hidden from public search on the platform. Students stay involved in the school community and in active conversations, but strangers won’t find them on their own.
Connecting students with their school
Within the school community, teachers are connected with their students. This gives them direct access to their profiles, where they can see all available posts and assigned skills.

Portfolios put to practical use
The portfolio pays off for students outside school too, as it makes it easier for them to land an internship or a part-time job. On FirstBucks, they can respond directly to job offers and show a company their finished projects in one click.
