PORTFOLIO FOR GRADUATES INTRO PORTFOLIO FOR GRADUATES LUCA School of Arts is launching a platform for its graduating students on which they can showcase their work. Not only are we creating a portfolio website, we are also giving you the opportunity to have your work printed on a postcard.  Both platforms give you the possibility to showcase yourself, your work but also your blog, LinkedIn profile, etc. Together they form an ideal business card for you.   LUCA will share these pages with more than thirty thousand people from the cultural sector. These include many potential future employers. LUCA can show prospective students how creative our graduates are. You can now create your portfolio page. Once you have collected all the information you want to share, this will only take 10 minutes of your time. The portfolio website will be launched externally on 15 June 2018. 13-5-2019
