CTP Skill Center

Met with Devin and Carrie for a “check-in” that was encouraging; it was great to know the employment services will happen every week. We also reviewed my class performance to date. I shared some observations on my own job search. We discussed the value of exercising accommodations and wellness, applying to part-time positions that are a good fit with my experience and interest in leadership roles. We also touched on the importance of considering timing in conversations with employers re: timing for the request for accommodations.

Typing practice. I worked on my Portfolio. Mike edited my photo for LinkedIn, and I uploaded it, and it turned out great!! I checked in with Devin and Carrie and discussed my performance so far and future goals. I also practiced on Google SheetBoss.

I continued working on my remote connectivity from where I stopped yesterday. I was able to progress with RDP after thorough research, then proceeded to do the AnyDesk and TeamViewer portion of the project. Learned a lot from troubleshooting and researching on this project. I had my monthly check-in with Devin and Carrie. I did my tech articles, and we ended the class by talking about the Portfolio for the upcoming graduation.

I learned that we all learn at different speeds. And not be afraid to ask questions.

Today was pretty laid back. I needed some assistance with my screenshot. It wasn’t showing up in the location that it normally is on my computer. So, Marc and Mike helped me. I also had an evaluation with Devin and Carrie. They said that I am doing great and to keep up the good work. I felt pretty good about the evaluation results.

Today, I continued to work on the Remote Connectivity lab. I got to check in with Devin and got to present my tech article at the end of class.

Started the day by clocking in like always. Then we jumped right into lab work. I had a check-in with Davin and Carrie to see how I was doing in the CTT program. As my day ended a little early, I then did my “what I did today” post before clocking out for the day.

Not having the best day today, but with only two days left, I didn’t want to call in or let it bring me down. My typing scores were okay, though I know I could have done better — and I recognize that.

One positive from today: I made it to #182 on the list for the email outreach project, which felt like a win and something I really needed today. I also posted a link on the CTP site to help older participants and CTP grads find part-time summer jobs through AARP. I want to help in any way I can because helping others always feels rewarding. I’m grateful to use my passion for helping people through this internship.

It’s Wednesday — we made it to the middle of the week! Sending a little positivity out there to help everyone get through the rest of it.

Wanted to share this picture of my screen to bright the day !!!!
