CTP Skill Center

I started with my typing practice. We started a project in class today that we will work on for 2 days. We are scheduling a conference, picking a date and time, location. We’re creating registration forms and spreadsheets for that information to use to mailmerge into name tags labels? We also reviewed important information about advanced browser optimization for efficiency.

Today felt like the first real step into the rhythm of things. I started by grounding myself in my standing assignments, learning about when things are assigned and due. From there, I moved into the Desktop Software Setup Lab. It was methodical work, but satisfying to see the tools come together, piece by piece. Connecting to CTP’s network was smoother than expected, and with that, a door opened to the internal systems I’ll be working with. I ended the day exploring the ticket systems. There’s a lot to learn, but I can already see how it’ll shape the way I track, respond, and support.

Did typing test for fifteen minutes, Learned about excel on writing days, shortcuts to expand one word to multiple words Ex: Monday-Sunday, how to put names in columns drag down the days in the columns and set up meetings using google sheets/Excel got a google sheets guide from Mike

started with typing practice for 15 minutes, reviewed web browser and advance web browser shortcuts. Went over Google Sheets, and started the BerkMart Event project.

We did a quick review of the google sheets for all the newcomers that just joined, then the first hour reviewed some more best practices for succeeding in the program. Then we started the event venue for the BerksMart annual investors conference where we coordinate a couple of things for the event that’s due on Thursday of this week.

Today I did…

Typed for 15 minutes

Watched while the new people had a crash course on Sheets

Worked on the BerkMart new project.

In the first hour I started with 15 minutes of typing practice, breaking 60 wpm for the first time, then working on job listings for the San Francisco area. In the second and third hours, I worked on the emergency funds list for Stanislaus and Merced Counties.

Today I felt like I was trying to catch up on everything, from simple tasks to logging and forgetting to clock in. I researched some office jobs and posted them on the skillcenter. I worked on the slides project the rest of the day.
