During the trainee’s stay at Montfort Boys’ Town (MBT), we expect each trainee is to be equipped with the following for a successful career in their future life:

01. Competence

Within any discipline, you will need a set of skills to be able to carry out your work effectively. These are both transferable skills as well as technical skills you need to equip yourself with so that you become a skilled professional in your industry. Being competent also means that you are self-aware and that you know what your strengths and weaknesses are. So that when you find that you lack a certain skill, you can identify it and start working on it.

02. Confidence

Having the confidence to go after what you want is crucial. Most people become leaders because they put themselves in positions where they can easily find the inspiration and motivation to succeed. These individuals are more likely to get out of their comfort zone, take risks and won’t settle for anything less than success. Becoming a successful skilled person means that you have the courage to demand what’s right for you as well as what you deserve.

03. Communication

Every successful skilled person knows how to communicate effectively with other people. They know how crucial it is to be able to communicate a message so that their peers can understand them and follow their lead. Communication is the most important skill every professional needs to possess as it isn’t only applicable within business, but incredibly useful in anything you are trying to achieve. If you can’t effectively interact with other people, you won’t be able to inspire them or succeed in your career.

04. Compass

To be a successful professional, you always need to carry an invisible compass in your pocket. This means that you need to know where you are headed and have a certain plan in place. A plan will help you stay on the right track in your professional journey. Every skilled person needs to have a sense of direction, or better yet a strategy to follow that can help them achieve their goals every step of the way.

05. Commitment

When you are trying to achieve a goal, being committed to it is essential. That’s because your chances of success will largely depend on it. Along the way, it’s guaranteed you will find obstacles that will make it harder to reach your destination, but that’s when your commitment is tested. Unless you are fully dedicated to your cause and are willing to sacrifice enough time to it, it is highly unlikely that you will achieve success.
