The second day of class was a little frantic for me, having two other appointments but having to cancel one of them right before class. I hope that I can get into the swing of things before next Tuesday so I can still have time in the morning to take care of other business and be ready for class.
When I found out we were only working on one project today, that was pretty relieving because I simply don’t like multitasking or learning a whole bunch in one day. This helped me focus on my own wellbeing alongside completing the CTP work, which was the Power of Wellness slides project.
I learned how to use SlidesCarnival for the first time. The AI voiceover video conversion ended up taking the rest of the time for class. I still haven’t been able to view the video. However, I did plug the Powerpoint version of my Slides project into NotebookLM and created a 6 minute ‘Explainer Video.’ Pretty Neat!
Day 2 of Technical Training
Today I went over the standing assignments, set up my remote access for virtualization projects, learned how to use the ticketing system, discussed the importance of these blog posts, and set up my calendar.
What I learned today
Slides assignment was easier than I thought.
Worked on my assignment due Thursday
With enough practice I should be able to do Slides on the entry level.
June 7, 2026
We had a brief overview of Google Slides. Then we pretty much had the whole class to work on our slide show for the POW health center. That was fun, and I hope that mine looks professional. We started the class with typing practice, and my words-per-minute are improving.
What Today Held
Today was my beginning to Pro Admin and Customer Service training. It was embarrassing to be a few minutes late to my first day but still felt happy joining into the outline for class.
Today I registered myself for Homebase as well as WordPress and Percipio. It is challenging for me to stay coherent but the practice with students and our teachers is encouraging. Especially everyone’s energy being inclusive and ready to teamwork through class. Excited for more learning and fun!

What I Did Today
Today was my first day back at CTP after one long week of vacation and no other class meetings. It was an enjoyable time staying off the clock and watching soccer, but today was more about staying productive.
During orientation for the PRO Customer Service and Administrative Training class, I focused on keeping track of the assignments to complete by the end of the week. As well, there were a few new tasks, such as Homebase time tracking and this WordPress blogging assignment. This is to say, I already felt challenged to meet the professional accountability standards we are practicing in this class.
However, I’m happy with the progress I seem to be making so far with my career goals and would like to continue to make necessary adjustments to find work. Despite the limitation not being able to get hired right away, I sense that I feel better and more confident throughout the process. This is because of what we learned in Computer Skills Bootcamp. I am feeling great about this practice on Day One.

What I Did Today
Today, my main responsibilities as an administrative associate are my daily task for the day to research and post job listings onto the CTP skill center website, and my main task for the day is to research general emails and contact information for foundations from a provided list, and then send email messages to the applicable foundations. I logged more general emails and site forms for provided foundations to be contacted and messaged around 6 more foundations using the provided email template.
What I did today, 7/6
Started the day by clocking in on HomeBase. Then listened to the CTP orientation. Then worked on the Monthly Email assignment due this Thursday. I am also starting to work on my end-of-three-month slide presentation that is due as soon as I can get it done. Then did my “What I did today” post and will clock out of HomeBase just as soon as I post this!.
What I learned today
Rigidity versus flexibility
Monthly Email
Accountability
What I did today?
Today was a pretty casual day. My internet was a little sketchy for the first part of class. I know that was annoying to the teachers. They have to keep signing me back in. I decided to use my Hotspot from my phone, and I was able to stay in class with no problems. Also, two new students started in the class and had orientation. I was able to work on my Accountability homework and my Core monthly check-in email assignment.
Last week we didn’t have class. So, coming back to class, today was great. We’re easing back in and having a laid-back, easy day. Catching up and getting ahead of assignments is great!
