On The Job Training (Week 7)

7th Week


On the seventh week of our OJT, I added placeholder items to the footer to match the official Bicol University website. Some of our group members were called to help our mentor with tasks like preparing PowerPoint templates and were sent to the main campus to assist and monitor assigned work. The next day, we made a few more adjustments to the footer and were asked to help with a Zoom dry run for the upcoming In-House Review. Tasks were divided, such as helping the tech team, checking breakout rooms, and taking screenshots. After that, we started working on a new feature for the system a File Manager, which for now is only a preview and not yet linked to the database.


By midweek, we prepared more for the In-House Review, we had another dry run for the Zoom event and finalized our assigned roles for the actual day. On the day of the review, we helped run the Zoom session smoothly by assisting with technical work, taking screenshots, and accepting participants. Some of us handled tasks both online and onsite. After the event, we also created a presentation slide for the winners of the review.


At the end of the week, we held the awarding ceremony at the Amphitheater in BU East Campus. We helped prepare the stage, set up sound systems, and ran the presentation slides. Everything went smoothly without major problems. After the ceremony, we presented our developed CMS, but it was decided that the CMS would not be continued since it would take too much time to finish and maintain. Instead, we were advised to rebuild it using WordPress. In the afternoon, I used the time to study WordPress, focusing on how to use the Elementor plugin to build pages more easily.

On The Job Training (Week 2)

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 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 accur...

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.
