CTP Skill Center

I finished my 3rd-month core portfolio today. It took a lot of effort to finish my portfolio.

Today we started class with our typing practice, and afterward Marc reviewed our Work Conflict Accountability assignments that are due on Thursday. He also walked us through the Core Training Portfolio Template and shared helpful ideas for what to include in our portfolio slide presentation. I spent most of the class working on my slides and then finished the day by updating my WordPress blog.

We did typing, we went over what we had to do this week, and we went over what we had to do in class today. I went to a breakout room with Marc and set up my Linkedin profile.

Today, I worked on my portfolio, mainly what I did before I started training with CTP and what skills I learned from and would like to add to my next job. I also looked into job listings for work that I want to pursue and add to my job lead through Indeed. I also watched, with my co-workers, an example of a past portfolio that would inspire me to make my own in a similar, but distinct manner.

Today I continued to work on the “Project Inception” lab and took the skills benchmark test, which made me realize I have a lot of room for growth.

I began working on my 3rd-month portfolio today. I also did an assignment on workplace conflict today.

First, I clocked into Homebase, and I learned how to set up Windows 10 in VirtualBox and Virt Manager. I re-learned how to create a ticket, who the ticket is assigned to, and what the user is when creating a ticket. I learned more about the CompTIA+ benchmarks and the topics within the benchmarks that I need help with. Lastly, I worked on some Percipio topics that I didn’t finish for the 2025 Skillsoft/Percipio Courses List.

We did research on Delta Dental along with asking questions about what we researched We also worked on cover letters. we also did interview questions

Today in class, we worked on our elective projects. I chose to do company/job research, and I researched Delta Dental. The reason why I decided to research Delta Dental is that we are doing mock interviews with them this Wednesday, and doing this project helped me learn about them. I also worked on my Percipio, and I worked on my accountability assignment. After that, I did my “What I did today” and that was it for class.

Today I ran into a ton of connectivity issues that seemed to go largely (thankfully) unnoticed by my coursemates. I successfully set up Windows 10 in both VirtualBox and VMM with plenty of time to go, and got started on Phase 5 of Project Inception.

Things were looking good.

And then I took the Skillsoft benchmarking assessments….

I have a long way to go before I’m in any position to help anyone in IT. There is so much to learn! All good. I’ll keep plugging away until it no longer makes sense to.
