From Trainee to Trainer

I have to admit that ever since I've joined AIESEC, even from the Induction period, a warm thought has invaded my mind:

"Hey, I'd really love to be a trainer, someday..."

Since then I was waiting for the day when I'll receive a mail saying:

Hey shinny happy @ people!
I know you were waiting for a long time... and now, you finally have the chance... to become TRAINERS!

...And on Monday, the 11^th of June, Pitu did send us that lovely announcement! \:D/

Because every journey starts with a first step, as a LEVEL 0 TRAINER, my responsibilities would have been:

• Participate in the "Training Design" preparation program organized by the PD dept;
• Take part into trainings as a co-trainer;
• Make researches on given topics for the trainings library;
• Facilitate groups during a training;
• Fill training impact evaluation forms.

Next steps:

• Sending my motivation letter till Friday, the 15^th of June;
• Saturday, the 16^th of June, interview time!

Everything went as planned, the interview was nice and friendly, Ana and Pitu got a chance to enjoy the air conditioning on that torrid day and we got a chance not only to answer questions, but to have a nice dialog; at least I know I did! Because there were no less than 32 motivation letters some people got interviewed only today, but... thanks to the effectiveness shown by the girls, we also got the results today: we have 24 level 0 trainers!

During selection, the following competencies and abilities were considered:

• Adaptability
• Empathy
• Communication
• Self-awareness
• Respect
• Accountability
• Motivation
• Level of engagement (past & future)
• Role awareness

After all this being said, as announced by our LTTC, Pitu, the new level 0 trainers are:

• Silvia Calenic
• Paula Tuduri
• Alexandra Macarie
• Anca Ursu
• Alex Focea
• Cristi Ambrozie
• Ioana Petrica
• Iuliana Simciuc
• Marius Butuc
• Anda Niculescu
• Delia Sopca
• Catalina Cojocaru
• Manuela Birsan
• Alexandra Schiopu
• Adina Ianau
• Andrei Piftor
• Alina Cozma
• Anca Vizitiu
• Simona Berbec
• Dana Chiriac
• Ruxandra Bucevschi
• Alexandru Popa
• Paul Stanciu
• Ionut Maxim

As you see, I did make it! Only one thing to say: "Me happy!"
What's next? Taking part in the TTT program and advancing to LEVEL 1 TRAINER.
But before all of that, I'll just go back to completing my SN form now...
