Children in inner-city schools should have their own version of LinkedIn, according to a parent advisory board that is pushing the Department for Education to create a platform for students to showcase their achievements to potential peers and employers.

The DOE already offers a limited internal system to allow students to manage college applications, communicate with guidance counselors, and create a resume.

But the City Council for High Schools — a volunteer parent group that advises and comments on education policy — wants a more public online portfolio for students to highlight their writing samples, projects, extracurriculars and more.

Students demonstrate superior interview skills after ePortfolio training, according to research cited by the board.

“During my six years on NYC borough and citywide high school boards of education, I’ve seen students do phenomenal work that just doesn’t get captured on the transcript,” Ben Morden, Manhattan CCHS representative and co-sponsor of the resolution. , The Post said.

“E-portfolios allow students to bring all their achievements together in one place, without them being scattered across social media or being missed altogether,” he added.

Trovvit, which is piloted at Staten Island Technical High Schoolfocuses on education and personal development, its founder and CEO Torrance Robinson said at the CCHS meeting.
