Week 13 OJT Productive Days at DPWH: Learning, Service, and Career Growth

During the week of February 16–20, 2026, I had the opportunity to handle various responsibilities that enhanced my technical skills, teamwork, and professional growth at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

On this day, I was assigned to deliver several important documents to the administrative section. I ensured that each document was properly submitted to the correct office. After completing this task, one of my coworkers approached me for assistance in installing the Zoom application on her laptop. I helped her download and properly set up Zoom, making sure it was fully functional and ready for use. It was a simple yet meaningful task that allowed me to assist a colleague and apply my basic technical skills.

I was tasked with repairing a computer from the maintenance section that was not functioning properly. I carefully troubleshooted the system by checking both hardware and software components to determine the cause of the issue. After diagnosing the problem, I applied the necessary fixes and successfully restored the computer to proper working condition. This experience allowed me to apply my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills in a real workplace setting, strengthening my confidence in handling IT-related concerns.

On this day, I delivered another important document to a different section, ensuring it reached the appropriate office. After completing this responsibility, my teammates and I focused on organizing and finalizing our remaining documents and paperwork that needed to be submitted to Sir Dean. This task emphasized the importance of organization, accuracy, and teamwork in completing administrative responsibilities efficiently.

The Guidance Office conducted a Career Pathing activity for students, which we attended to gain insights into possible career opportunities and future professional paths. The session was informative and helped us better understand the different options available after completing our studies. It also motivated us to think more seriously about our long-term goals and professional development.

In the afternoon, after the program concluded, we returned to DPWH to continue our assigned duties. We resumed our regular tasks with renewed motivation, applying the inspiration and knowledge we gained from the career pathing session.
