National Institute of Technology, Sendai College (Sendai KOSEN), Hirose Campus participated in the program of "implementation of portfolio education of 6 priority items for establishing quality assurance of education" of National Institute of Technology in the academic year of 2020 and we examined how portfolio education should be conducted and how we could implement it. In 2021, we started the first stage of portfolio education for younger (1st- to 3rd-year) students. This paper reports the initial cases conducted at Hirose Campus in 2021 and introduces the future portfolio education plans. Among the initial concepts were "to reduce a load of students in the introduction of the portfolio," "to provide the appropriate guidance to deepen students' understanding of portfolio education," "to introduce objective generic skills assessment," and "to enrich the portfolio according to students' level of understanding." According to these concepts, guidance and portfolio creation workshops were held for younger students. In particular, we tried to include the results of objective evaluation of generic skills into the portfolio, which is a strength of Hirose Campus, and to practice effective portfolio education in cooperation with parents as mentors for life outside school.
