Stop choosing. Build a Portfolio Career that reflects all of you.
Some careers don’t fit into one title and that’s not a problem. Some organizations require people with more than one skill.
design a Portfolio Career that fits your values, identity, and energy without burning out or starting from scratch.
build critical capability through fractional talent with structure, continuity, and less risk than a full-time hire.
We at the Portfolio Career PFC ® Institute made it our mission to Transform Work Culture and Career Paths.
A Portfolio Career isn’t a patchwork. It’s an intentional ecosystem of skills, contexts, and meaning;
designed to evolve across roles, industries, and seasons of life.
A portfolio career is an intentional mix of roles that you design around different skills and contexts with your strengths, values and goals. It is not a patchwork of side hustles.
The idea is that your different roles fit together into one meaningful and sustainable professional life that can change across industries and seasons of life.
There is no one definition of Portfolio Career, the earliest known definition goes back to Charles Handy.
In our definition we work with a matrix that looks at skills and contexts that are either existing or newly built.
The Portfolio Career Institute (PFCI® ) helps individuals design sustainable portfolio careers and helps organizations work with fractional and flexible talent.
For individuals: We help you design a portfolio career that fits your values, identity and energy. Whether you are navigating a career transition or a mid-career change, or want to turn a non-linear career into a clear value proposition, we support you in building a strong personal brand and sustainable multiple income streams. Depending on your career maturity, building a portfolio career is both a numbers game and a mind game. We focus on both. But because the mind is the foundation, our work is essentially also a self-leadership programme.
For organizations: We help organizations build capability through fractional and flexible talent. We support HR and leadership teams in understanding emerging forms of work such as fractional leadership and portfolio working, and in integrating independent professionals into their talent management. With new approaches, we aim to address both the generational shift and the skills shortage. Our mission is to transform work culture and career paths for the future of work.
You apply through a short form where you describe your goals and background. It is a fit check to make sure the group and expectations match, not a selection test.
