Lesson Notes

Read through the key concepts before you try the challenge.

Real-World Scenario

This is your final day in the TOR Tech simulation. Your manager has handed you one last full-day task list — and it covers everything. Workspace, communication, documents, scheduling, task management, CRM, and AI assistance. Complete it with the same professionalism you would bring to a real job. When you are done, you are job ready.

The Full Capstone Task

This capstone integrates all skills from Modules 1 through 7 into a single comprehensive deliverable. Your instructor may provide a specific task list, or you may follow the self-guided version below.

Digital workspace (Module 1): confirm your Google Drive or OneDrive workspace is organized and ready — all folders named, all prior work filed correctly
Professional communication (Module 2): draft 2 polished emails — one internal team update and one external client communication
Document creation (Module 3 / Module 5): produce 1 formatted summary document — could be a meeting recap, a project status update, or a client brief
Scheduling (Module 4): schedule 3 meetings — include full details, an agenda for each, and confirmation that no time conflicts exist
Task management (Module 5): build or update a task tracker showing all open items, owners, and due dates for this week
CRM logging (Module 6): log 2 client interactions in a CRM table or log — include all required fields for each entry
AI assistance (Module 7): use an AI tool to assist with at least 2 of the above tasks — document your prompt and your edited output
Portfolio update: add all new capstone outputs to your professional portfolio folder

AI Assist

💡 AI Task: Ask ChatGPT — "Act as my office manager. Give me a realistic full-day task list for a junior office assistant at a mid-size company on a Tuesday. Include morning priorities, afternoon tasks, and one end-of-day wrap-up action." Use the output as a reference framework to plan your own capstone approach.
