My Portfolio Project (First draft)

What is the Portfolio Project?

For the Apprenticeship program I am doing (Praxis), the month of December is dedicated to a portfolio project of our choosing. The project is a way for us to grow in our chosen role by doing a dynamic project that will showcase our skills and what we have learned. I have chosen to do an operations centric project with a local non-profit business called Westside Cares. My project will be two or more proposals on how to improve the tracking of in kind donations.

What my project is:

Two or more proposals for a non-profit charity, Westside Cares, in my community on how to improve their system for tracking donations, and make it more efficient.
