CTP Skill Center

Welcome to Wednesday here in CTP class. Today we started out practicing our typing. We worked on completing our Google Slide project regarding POW Fitness. I enjoyed working on the Slide project this time; the more I do, the more I learn, and the more I begin enjoying doing the Slides. I was happy that we had the rest of the time to work on our Accountability assignment; on the topic of rigidity and flexibility in the workplace. Good information. Good day my friends, it’s time to go…

Today, I worked on my Google Slide presentation. On my Google Slide presentation, I edited some of the font sizing, added photos to the slides, edited the presentation to make it look better, and more. Later, I read and worked on the accountability assignment.

Today I worked on my typing test . I worked on a Google slide project and my Homework for Friday.

Today I completed the POW Google Slides Presentation and then started work on my Core Training Portfolio presentation. It’s really cool and feels good to see all the work I’ve been doing come together and showcase that I am a capable person for the type of job that I want to have!

Whew! Loaded class. Today we set up a VPN with wireguard and RDC and connected to the CTP machine. We also went over the osTicket system that we will be using and I created my first ticket and worked on snipping and editing snips. A lot of new stuff for me. I think every day will be a lot of new stuff for me in this class. Exciting and challenging….

I started today with some job postings, as per usual. After meeting with Carrie and getting my new assignment, I familiarized myself with the ERG project, and added LinkedIn links for all the entries that didn’t have them. Excited for tomorrow, when I get to start adding entries of my own!

Today I learned about taking screenshots with the snipping tool, and creating tickets with homebase. We also learned about setting up a VPN. I clocked in for the first time today, and I just have to remember to do that every day.

Today, we went over some of the basic daily processes of CTT, as well as some of our duties off-hours, such as the required 3 hours of SkillSoft content. In addition, we also went over how to utilize Homebase for proper clocking.

We went over setting up WireGuard, thankfully most of the work on that end was already done from the last time I attended this course, so I just had to set up the new connection. After WireGuard was set up, we used Remote Desktop Connection and had a run through the basics of that before moving on to the OSticket, and getting a quick overview of the ticketing process. We used the snapshotting and snipping tools to get some images on the tickets we made.

Overall, I would say it was a good day.

Today’s tech exploration involved honing essential skills: mastering screenshots, setting up VPNs, and navigating Microsoft Windows tools like Remote Desktop Connection and Snipping tool. These fundamental abilities empower smoother workflows and enhanced productivity in the digital realm.
