CTP Skill Center

Started with a presentation on a tech article in CTT. The article explained what generative AI is and its uses. I then concluded the day by working on the Google Sheets event project and finished with the Google Slides presentation for the BerkMart Conference project.

As I look back on this week, I’m filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement about the skills I’ve developed. Each day brought new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I’m eager to share the highlights.

The week kicked off with a deep dive into Homebase, our time-tracking and scheduling software. Navigating the clock-in process was both a practical necessity and a learning experience, allowing me to grasp the importance of accurately logging my hours. This foundational skill will surely enhance my workflow and time management moving forward.

Another significant milestone was my exploration of our WordPress website. I delved into content management, learning how to update and navigate the dashboard effectively. This hands-on experience not only broadened my technical capabilities but also positioned me to make meaningful contributions to our online presence. I feel more equipped to streamline our workflow and enhance our digital communications.

I also ventured into the technical realm by learning how to remotely connect to the CTP desktop. This newfound ability to access important resources from anywhere is a game changer for my efficiency. Coupled with my exploration of the OS Ticketing system, where I gained practical experience in managing support tickets, I now feel better prepared to ensure timely communication and resolutions for our team.

In another exciting development, I immersed myself in computer hardware concepts. I focused on understanding the differences between RAM, HDDs, and SSDs, and even learned how to replace an HDD with an SSD. This process not only highlighted the significant performance improvements possible through hardware upgrades but also reinforced the importance of making informed decisions about technology in our work.

Today, I took a significant leap in my technical skills by learning how to set up a virtual machine using Debian Linux OS. This hands-on experience provided me with insights into virtualization technology and its practical applications. Creating a virtual environment not only enhances my ability to test software and configurations safely but also deepens my understanding of system resource management. This new skill will undoubtedly prove invaluable in various projects moving forward.

In the spirit of Halloween, I dressed up as Ellen Ripley from Aliens. This fun twist added an element of creativity to my day, reminding me that even in a professional setting, there’s room for personality and celebration.

Overall, this week has been a blend of technical learning and personal growth. I’m eager to apply these skills in my role and continue my journey of development. Each experience has been a step forward, and I’m excited to see where this path leads next. Happy Halloween to all—may your day be filled with fun and inspiration!

Shared tech article with CTT, then worked on Skillsoft courses.

Today, I worked on Tools for Focusing, which gave some great ideas for staying alert and focusing on projects or assignments that can be used at work or at home.

I also worked on a slide presentation for BerkMart. It was fun, but I think I could improve on what I’ve done in time.

I had a very productive day in PRO class today. Finished all assignments, made labels for my upcoming Conference for BerkMart, and began working on my slide production for the investor’s conference. We should be off to an awesome conference.

Today started with an introduction of everyone in the class. We then moved on to sharing our weekly articles. After that I completed my Accountability and BerkMart assignments. I was also able to squeeze in some Skillsoft.
