Gain The Necessary Work Experience

This plays an important part in starting your career. You have to gain work experience to be considered a valuable employee. Research shows that graduates with work experience gain employment opportunities faster than graduates who do not have work experience. 

This is why The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) has decided to design NATED Courses that give students both practical and theoretical knowledge.

At Matric College, we offer NATED Courses that allow students to gain both work experience and theoretical knowledge.

The DHET has also designed the iWIL services that allow NATED students to apply for work experience. Companies can also advertise positions related to the NATED fields of study.

Network

Networking plays an important role in achieving the career of your dreams. Meeting new people in your field of study allows you to find out more about your career choice. 

You will not only gain the necessary knowledge about your career choice but build relationships with people in your field of study. You can learn valuable skills and information from people in the career you wish to follow.

Most students enjoy job shadowing to gain the necessary skills that they need to see if they should get into the field of their interests.

The Willingness To Learn From Other Professionals

You have to be open to learn from anyone in your field of study. They might have valuable skills that you can learn from. They might also have skills that you have not acquired yet. Most successful people are open to learning new skills and taking initiative as well as risks.

Learn From Your Mistakes

As much as we do not want to speak about our failures, we also need to accept them and learn from them. If we do not accept that we have made mistakes, then we will never learn. 

Making a mistake encourages us to be better, and we tend to learn and remember the mistakes that we have made in the past.

Remain Determined

Do not ever give up on your dreams of becoming successful. Determination and perseverance are two of the most important traits to have when you are striving for success. Most successful people use their determination to get the best results. The “get up and try again” motto helps people complete their goals, even if it is not at the particular time in their lives that they planned on achieving it.

Remain Positive

Throughout your journey of success, you should always remain positive. This will help you make sound decisions. Having a negative attitude towards your success can become draining and steer you away from your ultimate goal of becoming successful. You should also surround yourself with positive people that will help you throughout your journey. This will help you when you are not in a positive mood.
