Narrative:
I was providing ojti for the first time since the covid lockdown. My trainee was on his first day back training. Aircraft X was doing practice approaches at ZZZ. When they were done; they came off [runway] xxr heading. My trainee gave them their clearance to ZZZ1. Aircraft X read back all correctly except for the altitudes which my trainee promptly reissued. At that time; I had to turn aircraft Y onto final at ZZZ2 as my trainee did not do in a timely manner. We then had a call from ZZZ3 and a request from another aircraft back to back. I failed to realize that aircraft X did not enter their new squawk code and thus did not tag up in stars. They ended up flying for 98 miles without a handoff or point out to other sectors at 12;000 feet. This can only be attributed to not having provided ojti for the past 6 months. Otherwise if I had been working the position by myself this probably would not have happened.I would recommend a redoubling of effort to scanning while providing ojti or while performing controller in charge duties for ojti.
