Student employability is not solely determined by obtaining an academic qualification. Other qualities are also important, including generic graduate attributes and the ability to properly package and present their credentials and capabilities. This paper evaluates the use of an ePortfolio in a senior undergraduate cancer science course to specifically improve student self-efficacy in career decision-making. The course piloted the use of an ePortfolio as a pedagogical tool for integrated career development learning (CDL) and reflection. A Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale was used to evaluate the CDL. All thirty-two enrolled students in the course participated in the study. After the CDL interventions, students were significantly more confident in four of the five aspects of self-efficacy: self-appraisal, occupational information, planning, and problem solving (p≤0.016). Embedding CDL in an ePortfolio is an innovative use of emerging learning technologies. The results of this pilot study support the extension of this approach to other senior undergraduate courses.
