What to choose? January 31, 2022 We're now at the end of the first month of 2022. How was it with you guys? Did you make this month productive and fruitful? I hope we all did :) **Last Wednesday, aside from my** **mother's** **birthday. We also have our orientation about one of the subjects which handle our OJT or internship**. https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/special-day-of-the-person-special-to-me-dc6ecc15

There are almost 700+ students that attend the said orientation. The speakers are the professors, coordinators, the head of our department and also the ones who handle the internship. They discussed the choices that we can choose. Since there is still a pandemic, CHED won't allow all students to undergo a face to face out or onsite internship. It is for the safety of the students. They offered us three choices and here are those: **Virtual OJT** **Certification** **Program-based learning** I don't give much attention to the third one so I will just explain to you the first two choices. The first one is the virtual ojt, well it's obvious we are going to undergo internship but virtually meaning we can't go on site. All process needs to do online even on applying and passing the requirements. No one is allowed to go to the company. Many requirements need to pass to the coordinator before you can start your virtual OJT in a certain company. Submit complete documents for the company's proof of legitimacy and recommendation letter via email. Company Profile SEC Registration Posting/Announcement about Internship OJT/Intern Job Description Recommendation Letter Those are the requirements that need to submit when you choose virtual OJT. The second one is the certification. Here there is a foundation that offers the school to teach students. It is still virtual but what you need to do is you're going to answer all the modules in the application that they provide and this is equivalent to virtual OJT but the difference is in virtual OJT you need to log in and render an hour and a total of 500 hours while in the certification you can manage your time since your choice if you will be going to answer all the modules in one month or finish it within the given months. There's an assessment also in every module. When you can pass all the assessments and answered the module, you will be given a certificate. Their certificate is whether you're qualified for an international certificate or a local certificate. I don't know what's the difference between these two. But the speaker says it's not a disadvantage if you got the local one.

They give us two weeks to decide on what we will gonna choose among the three choices. I want to experience the virtual OJT but I doubt I can find a company since I don't have enough tools such as a laptop or desktop, I know this is important when you choose this one. Aside from the tools that I need to have, I also need to have a quiet place and render at least 8 hours in doing the virtual Job. So I'm planning to choose the second one as it is more convenient for me. The head coordinator said that even if you don't choose virtual OJT, this doesn't mean that you are the least. The certification is also a good one.

When the said foundation sends the google form, (this is for those students who are taking certification) I instantly fill up to it to secure my slot. *I hope I made the right decision and I think I am as I can't make it to the virtual OJT.* These are my awesome sponsor's guys.
