CTP Skill Center

Today, we worked on the Google Docs formatting project. This was fun! I put my skills to work. I also had a one-on-one with Carrie regarding my employment services evaluation. I appreciate the check-in with her. This makes me feel that there’s hope for a better future career goal for me. We also played CTP Jeopardy. I was very close to winning. Jeopardy was fun! I was in 2nd place!

We reviewed many Google doc editing, review, and proofing techniques. In addition I checked in with Carrie about job goals, target organizations, techniques such as dedicating 80% of my time to networking and also to strategically apply only to the best fit role given my goals and accommodations.

Class started with typing practice. Mike reviewed what we did yesterday, fixing mistakes in 5 letters. I met with Carrie for Employment Services Intake. We had to edit a document for headings, add page numbers, and make a table of contents. We played Jeopardy, and Joseph won! Congrats!!

I learned how to proofread and edit. I also learned how to use certain functions on Google Docs.

I started by clocking in at HomeBase. then did a typing score check. After that, we went over the editing and proofreading docs. I also worked on Percipio when on breaks or when done with assignments. Then we played a little game about Google Docs. Then did the “What I did today” post. Then clocked out of HomeBase.

I started the day by clocking in on Homebase. We went over the Tech Article Assignment and tried it out on Slack. Then I took a break. Then, I created a VirtualBox named Bodhi-PC. And started Bodhi-PC and installed Bodhi Linux. Then I took another break. Also, I did a ” What did I do today post at the end. Finally, I ended the day by clocking out of Homebase.

Today, I began my onboarding and first day as an administrative associate, with my main task for the day to research and post job listings and upcoming job fairs onto the CTP skillcenter website. 

I started by searching appropriate job listings on Indeed, Linkedin, and other job sites before posting them within the guidelines provided as a clean and concise summary. 

Additionally, I posted job fair flyers and summarized the information into bullet points to streamline the info on the flyer into a more easily readable format. 

The goal of my efforts today was to properly settle into the workflow of my administrative associate responsibilities while also ensuring that the job listings submitted will help job seekers find entry level positions and help get their foot in the door.

We got to learn how to use a virtual box from remoting from another computer. Although I was a little uncertain, I got it done. And also learned about the Tech articles and where to go and wha to look for.
