What Is the Portfolio Builder?
The Portfolio Builder on Nehiju Learn lets you create a professional digital portfolio that showcases your learning projects, skills, and achievements. Whether you are applying to university, seeking an internship, or building a professional profile, your portfolio gives others a clear picture of what you can do.

What You Can Include

Your portfolio supports several types of evidence:
  • Projects — Add projects from your Nehiju Learn courses or personal projects. Include descriptions, screenshots, GitHub links, and demo URLs.
  • Certificates — Completed courses automatically add their certificates to your portfolio. Each certificate links to a verification page.
  • Skills — The skills you have practiced in courses and quizzes are automatically compiled into a skills section.
  • Achievements — Badges, levels, and leaderboard rankings appear as social proof of your dedication.
  • Career Goals — Set your career pathway and the portfolio shows your progress toward it.

    • Privacy Controls

    Your portfolio has three privacy levels:
  • Private — Only you can see it

  • Link sharing — Anyone with the link can view it

  • Public — Indexed and discoverable
    • You control what appears in your portfolio. Individual items can be shown or hidden independently.

    How to Build Your Portfolio

  • Complete courses — Finished courses automatically populate your portfolio with certificates and skills.
  • Add projects — Go to the Portfolio page, click Add Project, fill in the details (title, description, link, screenshot), and save.
  • Set privacy — Choose who can see your portfolio. For job applications, use link sharing.
  • Share — Copy your portfolio URL and include it in applications, emails, or your CV.

    • Auto-Sync

    When you complete a course on Nehiju Learn, the certificate, skills, and project work automatically sync to your portfolio. You do not need to manually add them — just review and approve what appears.

    Using Your Portfolio for Applications

    University applications — Include your portfolio link in your application. Admissions officers can see your projects, certificates, and skills.
    Job applications — Share your portfolio link with potential employers. It provides evidence of your capabilities beyond a CV.
    Networking — Share your portfolio on LinkedIn or professional networks to showcase your work.
