 Month of April Hello everyone! We have reached the final month of my OJT, and I wanted to sum up all my experiences for this month instead of having weekly journals since my tasks for this month were similar to the previous weeks. This month was filled with new experiences and knowledge. Our office received a call from the Engineering Department regarding their wall Ethernet port connection. The Ethernet port was fixed in a specific part of the faculty, and they wanted to set up a PC near that wall, but the port had no connection. Together with two members of the Tech Team and two other interns, we troubleshooted the problem. We tried changing the port, but still, there was no connection because the issue was with the line mounted inside the concrete wall. We had to come up with a solution to fix the issue, and we decided to install a new Ethernet port near the PC using a surface-mounted conduit. We successfully installed the new port, and the PC had a connection. Aside from this ...

 Week 10 Week 10 March 27 - 31, 2023 Hello! Come and join me as I share my OJT experiences for this week! I have learned a lot. The school purchased a switch hub for the access points we installed last week. After installing the access points, we still didn't have internet because we needed to set up the switch hub first. This week, the switch hub arrived. After setting it up, we needed to install it in the Network Operations Room located on the 3rd floor of the Nursing Building, near the CCS Department. This way, students can now access the internet in that specific area of the building. In this photo, you can see me inserting the LAN cables into the switch hub to establish internet connection for the access points. It was one of the most significant moments in my entire OJT experience because the Net Operations Room is responsible for all the connections within the building, and one mistake could cause disruption in all the departments. I paid close attention to the instructions ...

 Week 9 Week 9 March 20 - 24, 2023 Hello guys! We have reached the 9th week of my internship. This week is similar to the past few weeks, where I worked as a Technical Support Assistant. However, this week was still filled with experiences as I was assigned to accompany one of the members of our Technical Support Team. We needed to install some access points in the nursing building so that all the college departments, as well as the students, can access free WIFI provided by the school. This photo was taken in the CCS department, near Lab 5 where I was assigned to install a new Access Point. After setting up the Access Point, I was called by one of the Tech Team Members to install a new device, which was a new experience for me. I learned a lot from this task.  We did similar tasks this week, but in different floors and college departments. Looking forward to sharing more experiences next week!

 Week 8 Week 8 March 13 - 17, 2023 Hi guys, it's me again in my 8th week of internship! This week was the most exciting part of my OJT with a lot of learning and experiences. Come and join me as I explore my learnings for this week and share my experience. This week, I was assigned back to my main role as a Technical Team Assistant. The head of USPF, Ma'am Yna, announced that we would need to troubleshoot at Bantayan Southern Institute (BSI). The said school is more like another branch or campus of USPF, but under a different name located in Bantayan Island, Cebu, which is several hours away from the city. The problem was with their computer laboratory. The laboratory was renovated and required them to pull out all the PCs in that specific lab. In order to avoid inconvenience for the students once the laboratory is done, we needed to check all the units to see if they were working or not, list the working and defective units, and segregate the working units from the defective o...

 Week 7 Week 7 March 6 - 10, 2023 Hello everyone! This is the 7th week of my internship and my 2nd week as a front desk personnel in our office. As in the previous week, my main task is to print and claim school IDs. I print around 20 to 30 IDs per day because the printer needs to rest to avoid overheating and potential damage. This is a photo of our ID printer in the office. I am not visible in the photo because I am always busy encoding the specific information of the ID holders (I took this photo myself). It is crucial for me to be focused and review the information accurately as some of it is sensitive and personal. Reprinting an ID can cause inconvenience and additional costs for the holder, so I make sure to do my best to avoid any errors. The IDs are also significant as they serve as the official identification of the students and will be used until their graduation. This is a sample of the new template for the University ID for students, which I printed myself. That's all f...

 Week 6 Week 6 February 27 - March 3, 2023 Hello! We have reached the 6th week of my OJT experience. This week brings a lot of excitement as I was transferred to the front desk. My role now is to entertain anyone who would knock on our window and assist them with their concerns, especially regarding their school IDs. The previous intern who was assigned to this task mentioned that most of the concerns raised by visitors are about their IDs and whether they have been processed yet or not. We were informed that the processing of school IDs is put on hold due to lack of transfer film supplies. On this week the supplies for printing the IDs arrived. We have so many ID backlogs have not yet printed. after the supply was arrived we immediately start printing IDs since we have a lot for more or less 700 IDs need to be printed including students and new employees.  This week has been challenging for me as I faced situations that tested my patience. Some of the visitors were getting ho...

 Week 5 Week 5 February 20 - 24, 2023 Hello everyone! I am now in my 5th week of OJT, and I am still assisting the Technical Support Team in our department. Similar to the past weeks, we are still receiving numerous calls from different departments with various issues. Every day, I am learning new knowledge and skills as I encounter different problems that need to be addressed. Despite the challenges, I am enjoying the learning experience and looking forward to more opportunities to grow and develop my skills. This week, my fellow interns and I were assigned to fix a specific issue with a PC in our university clinic. Unfortunately, we were too busy resolving the problem to take a picture. After successfully fixing the issue, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and have a medical checkup since it is a requirement for our OJT program. In this photo, you can see me providing a blood readings for my medical record. After a busy week, we decided to have a small gathering wit...

 Week 4 Week 4 February 13 - 17, 2023 Hi, I am excited to share with you all my OJT experience for this week. I want to give everyone a heads up that this week was our University Days, one of the biggest events in our university where students have no classes, but faculty and staff still have work ongoing. Despite the event, I was still assigned numerous tasks this week as an intern, as this kind of event on campus would not stop us from fulfilling our duties and responsibilities. This picture was taken during our University Days. As interns, we were assigned to create several LAN cables to address a certain issue. Once we completed the task, we continued to troubleshoot problems from other departments, as we have been doing in the past few weeks. See you next week!

 Week 3 Week 3 February 6 -10, 2023 Hi, it's me again! Join me as I explore my experiences during Week 3 of my OJT. This week, I continued to gain new knowledge as a member of the Technical Support team in our department. Similar to Week 2, my main task was to assist the Technical Support Team in troubleshooting various problems reported by different departments on campus. We received numerous calls regarding asset issues that needed our attention. Therefore, I was still assigned to troubleshoot the problems in some departments. I was tasked with troubleshooting the PCs located in the Learning Commons of the Senior High School building. There were three system units that needed to be taken out in order to fix them in our office since most of the problems were related to the hardware or components inside the units. After removing the system units and performing diagnostics, I found that the problem with two of the units was related to the Power Supply, while the other one had an iss...

 Week 2   Week 2 January 30 - Feb 3, 2023  Hello! This is the second week of my OJT. For this week, I won't be posting many pictures since it was quite similar to my first week. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of knowledge as a Technical Support. After completing all the cleaning tasks during my first week, we were tasked with assisting the Technical Support team in our department's ICT division. We helped troubleshoot various problems in different college departments. This photo was taken in the ETEEAP Department where I was assigned to troubleshoot their concerns regarding one of their assets. Specifically, I was tasked with backing up all of their files and formatting their PC to ensure smooth performance and efficient transactions when enrolling students. See you in Week 3!
