CTP Skill Center

Today I almost forgot to log into homebase, clocked in late. We reviewed our articles in Slack and had discussions about security, privacy on social media platforms, and smart homes. We then finished our Network lab. Things got a bit confusing with the gateway IP addresses and using routers. My network diagram needed some improvements. Some folks were able to move on to the advance lab but I wasn’t. We finished reviewing Percipio Tomorrow we have mock interviews.

Today I practiced my typing, and my consistency has improved. Worked on creating a flyer that took most of my class time today.

The main focus today was working on a CTP PRO Customer Service and Administrative Training course flyer. I needed to ask for help to fully understand the assignment and noticed that the other students appeared to be making much faster progress than me.

Today I presented my tech article. I also completed the networking lab and got started on the advanced lab.

Today I built a 2-layer network by adding a second pfSense router and creating an inner network. I connected the Windows VM to the outer network and moved the Debian VM to the inner network. I tested connectivity between devices and observed how routing and network separation affect communication.

I typed at the beginning of the class.

We all worked on making a flyer.

Making a flyer is a new experience .It is required to be repeated.

I learned basic points about making a flyer.

Today, we mainly worked on our CTP flyers, learning the key components of a good, professional flyer. Marc reminded me how to do word art, which made my main statement a lot easier to read. I started a new Skillsoft course about networking.

Today I started my work by posting job listings for CTP. I am always looking for good job opportunities that may help CTP participants in their job search. Today, I found several entry-level positions that could be helpful for participants who are beginning their careers.

I also worked on researching upcoming career fairs. These included both virtual and in-person events, which provide great opportunities for participants to network and connect with potential employers. I hope many participants will take advantage of these events as part of their job search.

In addition, I met with Carrie to go over my next email project. I will begin working on that on Friday, and I am looking forward to continuing to learn new skills.

Today was another productive day of research, and I hope the information I gathered helps participants on their journey to finding employment.
