On-The-Job-Training (Week 1)

 First Week


Day 1

The first day of our on-the-job training (OJT) was a mix of excitement and nervousness as we stepped into a new environment. We began by meeting our mentors, introducing ourselves, and getting to know them. Shortly after, we attended the orientation where Computer Science (CS) students presented their ongoing project in RDMD—one that we would be assisting with throughout our training.

Following the demonstration, another orientation took place, where we were assigned tasks based on our skills and expertise. This allowed us to see where we could contribute and what we would be learning. Afterward, we took a group photo with the CS students and had a discussion about their system, gaining insights into its development and future improvements.


Day 2

On the second day of our on-the-job training, we started by discussing as a team the best approach to accomplish our assigned tasks. Collaboration was key as we explored different strategies to ensure efficiency and accuracy.

After finalizing our plan, we met with our mentor, who guided us on what documents needed to be digitized. With clear instructions in place, we began the process of digitizing the documents, ensuring everything was properly recorded and organized. To streamline our work, we used Google Sheets, where I was granted access to monitor and update the progress in real time.

Day 3
As our on-the-job training progressed, we continued digitizing documents on the third day, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in our work. At the same time, we took the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the structure of the system demonstrated to us by the Computer Science (CS) students.

Day 4
On the fourth day of our on-the-job training, we made significant progress in digitizing documents, thanks to the use of an advanced scanning device. This technology allowed us to process documents more efficiently, reducing the time and effort required compared to manual entry.

At first, we felt a bit anxious, unsure of what to expect. However, as we talked about our roles and the tasks ahead, we realized that this experience would be an opportunity for growth. It wasn’t just about working on a project—it was about learning new skills, meeting new people, and stepping out of our comfort zones. This OJT journey promises new challenges and experiences that will shape us for the future, preparing us for the real-world industry beyond the classroom.

Second Week  Day 5 (February 11, 2025) On Day 5 of this week, we continued digitizing progress report documents provided by our mentor. In the afternoon, we had a discussion with Ma’am Llovido regarding the plans and necessary steps to initiate and complete our mentorship plan. We also addressed concerns about the current system development that we will be supporting. Day 6 (February 12, 2025) On the sixth day, our focus was mainly on scanning documents and consulting the previous batch regarding the system’s progress. We also had a discussion with Ma’am Joy about the possibility of refactoring the system. While she acknowledged that it was feasible, the looming deadline posed a significant challenge. To gain more insight, we reached out to the former OJT students, and they told the same concern. Refactoring would require them to relearn the entire codebase while still racing against time to complete the project. Given these circumstance, we ultimately decided to work with the exis...

On The Job Training (Week 9)

 9th Week This week, we continued working on the CMS using WordPress. On Monday, we made changes to the Division Pages like RDMD, PKMD, IPMD, EMD, and the centers. Instead of making separate “About Us” pages for each sub-division, we just added their details to the main division pages. This made the site easier to use and more organized. Since Tuesday was a holiday, we had a break from our OJT and resumed work on Wednesday. On Wednesday, we worked from home because of a power outage in the office. We used Discord to talk to each other and Messenger to reach out to the CSSP students. We spent the day adding content to the CMS as we waited for the materials made by CSSP. On Friday, we added more content and updated the “Historical Background” section. Since all divisions had the same background, we placed it on the homepage. Later that day, we also helped move some shelves and papers around the office. After that, we were treated to some pizza as thanks.
