technical training manual: final project for techmission as americorps volunteer
DESCRIPTION
Technology Training Manuals are very important for any company's documentation process. On an AmeriCorps stipend, I worked for TechMission, a nonprofit organization located in Boston, for a year as a web developer and server administrator. My final project was to revamp the existing tech team training manual so that future employees could be trained more quickly and could find documentation over the course of their work.In addition, this presentation (very) briefly covers why it is important to have an anti-virus program installed on your computer, and includes a page of logos for some of the most common Internet Browsers (which I described and briefly reviewed in my oral presentation).TRANSCRIPT
