Hello friends,
I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources and am totally interested in pursuing a career as a soft skills trainer. However, since I am new to this field, I don't know how to start as a fresher. At this point, it seems to be a matter of great concern to have your valuable suggestions regarding my career. I must tell you I have never imagined myself in those boring routine desk jobs which I'll be forced to do once I grab a job of that kind. Thus, I don't want to put my entire career in jeopardy due to this.
On the contrary, there is something that I found interesting after months of extensive research in the field of Corporate and Soft Skills training. I realized that this is what I'm passionate about and am actually made for. Moreover, I have been trying hard to consult a lot of people to help me out in this regard, which didn't turn out so well so far. This has finally brought me here so that I could get some valuable advice that could help me shape my career in the direction I want to.
But as I'm new to the field, I don't know where to start and how to start. Therefore, it would be a great help if you could provide me with the answers to my queries stated above.
Seeking to hear from you as soon as possible.
With Kind Regards,
Mayank Kumar

Hi,
If you had first searched this site for the answer, you would have received many suggestions, including the one that I have shared with others who asked a similar query. For your benefit, I am sharing the same below.
Let me compliment you on deciding to be a trainer. I am taking the liberty of adding my suggestions for your consideration.
To be a good trainer, a prerequisite is good communication skills, especially effective presentation and public speaking skills. However, the heart and brains of the training still remain the domain knowledge. But even the most knowledgeable person would fail miserably as a trainer without effective communication skills. To further improve your communication skills, find a local Toastmasters club in your city and join them.
To get the academic input on training, you can do the course from the Indian Society for Training and Development (ISTD) as planned. Alternatively, you can also attend some Train The Trainer (TTT) programs offered by private institutions.
To get going, focus on those topics that you are familiar with, confident about, passionate about, or have a good grounding in. Keep updating yourself by reading extensively and start outlining the broad course content, keeping in mind the type of audience you are likely to address. In particular, pay attention to the type of exercises, examples, activities that you will use during the program to reinforce a point or make the learning relevant. I would also suggest that you attend some corporate training by professionals on topics of your interest to get a feel of how it is structured and delivered.
If you have no corporate training experience, ideally take a few sessions for postgraduate students in colleges or for social service clubs like Lions and Rotary's so that you gain experience and can fine-tune your material. Once you are confident, approach a few corporates, and the first few training programs are vital for future reference and for your confidence.
I would also invite you to visit the following Inspirational and Motivational Blogs which can also assist you in improving your vocabulary and communication skills.

Dear Mayank,
Any person who wishes to become a Trainer should undergo a few Trainings at the initial stage. "BE YOUR BEST - LEADER" is one of them. It is a 4-day life-transforming Training Workshop. We provide lifelong post-training support (almost complimentary) so that the learnings from this Program do not get diluted over a period of time.
I recommend you undergo this Training without fail. This Workshop is being conducted continuously in New Delhi. For more details, you can get back to me.

Dear Friends,
Still, a question arises in my mind: where should I apply to start my career as a trainer? Are there any institutes that welcome freshers as trainers? Any valuable suggestions would be helpful.

Dear Mayank,
It is good that you want to pursue your career as a soft skills trainer. You need to be very good in English. The topics, i.e., modules for soft skills, should be dependent on the type of organization you will conduct training in.

Dear Friends,
Some more specific replies would be much better. In a more generalized way, I know what it takes to be a trainer because I've completed an extensive two-year program conducted by 'Hero Mind Mine' in Personality Enhancement while pursuing my MBA degree. However, since I am considering starting a career in training, I am unsure where to apply to progress further. The question still remains: are there any institutes that hire freshers as trainers? I have come across links on this website regarding the same, but those threads are outdated and broken. Could anybody please offer some meaningful advice to help me navigate through this confusion?

Hello everybody,
Further to the query posted by Mayank and the replies provided, presumably by several individuals involved in training, I also have a similar query. The difference lies in the fact that Mayank appears to be a fresher (MBA graduate) seeking training opportunities post his graduation. In my case, I have a total experience of approximately 12+ years across various fields such as customer service, operations, recruitment consultancy, and more recently, I have transitioned to a growing company specializing in Organizational Development (OD) and consultancy services about two years ago. Although I lack experience in a formal training role, I am now interested in exploring suitable opportunities in soft skills training. Additionally, I have also worked in locations outside Mumbai, including a short stint abroad.
I am currently a student of ISTD (Indian Society of Training and Development) and am pursuing a six-month internship course. I am eager to learn about suitable training and development opportunities in Mumbai, preferably freelancing positions initially due to certain time constraints. I am keen to discover organizations where I could potentially take on a trainer role or any other suitable opportunities in the T&D domain.
