There are two types of motivation: Intrinsic and Extrinsic.
An extrinsic motivation is helpful until intrinsic motivation is achieved.
I use intrinsic motivation in my course presentations. I try to make the class fun, so that even if the course material is dry, the experience is remembered as enjoyable. Joking is helpful, but not too much. Telling personal stories, related to the point at hand, is useful as well.
I think the best approach is to start with some extrinsic motivators such as rewards of some type and then hope the intrinsic will kick in and students would become motivated to achieve success internally. I would hope that in our school setting, if a student chooses to go through a particular program it is because they are internally motivated to become successful in that career as a start.
Intrinsic motivation is the personal motivating factors for most students
I will try to incorporate more use of extrinsic motivation to help my students become more intrinsically motivated.

learning the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
I've Learned that Intrinsic motivators is vital to the students sense of security.
intrinsic motivation is the most important for student success.
Students are self-motivated (Intrinsic) as adult learners, the motivation is increased as opportunities are presented through course study. The grade is a great reward (Extrinsic); the knowledge is greater in that the newly acquired skills will be rewarded in the workplace often many times over both (Extrinsic and Intrinsic).
Strategies for supporting successes with intrinsic (internal) or extrinsic (external) motivators differ and can both be valuable to support with increasing security and autonomy in the classroom.
Extrinsic motivation is a good motivator, but intrinsic motivation will allow adult learners to complete their goals. It is they big WHY.
How to more effectively use extrinsic motivators to help the student develop their own intrinsic ones
Intrinsic motivation is stimulation to do something that is internal to person. Extrinsic motivation encourages people to do things they wouldn't normally. Rewards are usually the prize for extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivators usually bridge the gap for intrinsic motivation
