Amiin - Electrical Engineering Student
During my time at FACTSNet, I worked on many different projects. I was apart of the admin team so I would do daily reporting checks, and I was also the team lead for my group. I mainly worked in the Islamic Soul Collections, but I also did some workability collections as well as career and developmental work (which ultimately led me to land a job at EPCOR).
As far as Islamic Collections, here are the topics I’ve worked on:
(This contains a 10 page summary of the fundamental belief of a Muslim)
As for the workability topics, here are the topics I’ve worked on:
Overall, my work at FACTSNet has revamped my organizational skills and gave me time allocated for work to find a job that will boost my career. I hope to keep what I learned here and use it to grow as an EPCOR employee. It was well worth the ride!
Shyan - Music Student
For my summer job, I worked on three main projects, aside from assignments which everyone completed. The biggest project was a Master Blog List. This was a way to organize every FACTSnet blog and allow easier access to the information without having to manually search everything. I collected all of the information in a spreadsheet for employees to be able to easily access any type of blog they need, as long as they have access to said blogs.
The second project was continuing my involvement with the Spruce Grove Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) from my internship. As most of my involvement with it was completed during my internship, I attended an open house about the ARP, which was the extent of the ARP in my summer job.
The final project was working with Wix. During the summer, a website was created for FACTSnet in Wix, so I took time to learn how to work with it, and made a few edits to the page.
Mohammed - Business Student
During my time with FACTSNet, I worked on a number of collections as a Digital Collections Developer relating to career development. Specifically, I developed collections on career opportunities at the Alberta School of Business, and guides on how to improve essential workability skills. I have also worked on collections related to spiritual wellness from both secular and Islamic perspectives.
Moreover, I was part of the Administrative team and had the responsibilities of team lead, payroll processing, overseeing a large collection project that integrated the work of numerous employees, and creating instructional documents for future administrative employees on topics related to payroll and recruiting to help facilitate an effortless administrative process at FACTSNet going forward.
In conclusion, working at FACTSNet have allowed me to greatly improve my leadership, collaboration and data entry skills through giving me the opportunity of overseeing a number of employees as team lead, working closely with the administration team, and ensuring the greatest level of accuracy in every step of the payroll process. Looking back, I am grateful for all the challenges that surfaced during my time here, as without them I would not have had the chance to sharpen the mentioned skills as much as I did. Moreover, I have become well-acquainted with G Suite software and have acquired the necessary skills to proficiently work with its different tools.
Benjamin - Education Student
During my time at FACTS, I was fortunate enough to gain the three-fold experience of leadership skills, employable skills and career-specific skills. I was part of several teams and assignments during my 8 weeks. These include the administration team, and their many responsibilities in growing FACTS and managing employees, the education team, the career and development team and partially the Spruce Grove ARP Team. I also completed assignments for Global Soul Wellness and my own personal project on the life of Judge Fowler. My publishable work from all of these various tasks can be found here:
Administration:
Education Collection
Richard S. Fowler Project
Soul Wellness and Workability
My experience at FACTS helped me gain a multitude of useful skills. Including the value of strong leadership, community and teamwork. When collaborating together, despite age and value differences, people can have a huge impact on the communities they live in, little by little.
