In this course, I gained valuable experience in writing for technical fields. I learned the important guidelines and rules that are important when it comes to technical writing. One skill I learned was how to create an e-portfolio, which allows me to showcase my skills and professionally share my information. I learned how to start a blog, which can help me further improve my writing skills and express my ideas more effectively. I also learned how to present information clearly, which is important when speaking to an audience. I learned the technical writing process and the reasons why it is important to follow certain rules. I did assignments that will improve my skills in creating outlines, which helps organize my thoughts. I learned about persuasion to make my writing more impactful. I learned how to write and edit documents for professional projects. I learned how to design and lay out a document so that it is easier for others to read and understand the information presented. These skills I learned will help with communication in the workplace. I will use everything I learned to help with my career journey, as these abilities will help me write more clearly and effectively.
I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.
