- Grade 9 : Completes a student version of a LinkedIn profile, looking at their accomplishments, community service, academic progress, and co-curricular activities. They will be partnered with a senior IBT student mentor, who will guide them in creating their profile, and act as a peer evaluator during live presentation.
- Grade 10: Students will build upon their previous years profile, with the help of a senior IBT student mentor.
- Grade 11: During an overnight leadership retreat, students will present a website they have created to a teacher evaluator. Students will share their plans for post-secondary, their career aspirations, and the plans they have to implement their goals. They will also research current trends in technology for their future career.
- Grade 12: In order to gain leadership experience, students will act as mentors to junior students, and help guide their portfolio explorations. They will also act as a peer evaluator, working closely with an IBT co-ordinator teacher.
