First Step
To assist people in their basic skills to be able to take the
“First Step” towards employment, by improving their communication and people skills.
Self-motivation skills
Being self-motivated and taking initiative is vitally important to most employers. No one wants to be babysat in work. Self-motivated individuals want to be the best they can be regardless of where they work and will often take responsibility for projects even when they do not need to. Personal pride is a big part of self-motivation, “if you believe in yourself, others will believe in you”.
Commitment in work
As an employee, it is important for you to identify and get to know your own strengths and weaknesses. When we use our strengths, we are doing our best work and that provides satisfaction. By using your strengths every day, you will improve your work and life satisfaction.
