Facilitation work in George
George is the largest town on the Garden Route and its business and government centre. The Garden Route district municipality, provincial offices, the regional hospital, a university campus and a TVET college book planning sessions, staff development and learnerships. Timber, dairy, tourism and construction firms need supervisor and safety training. The town also sells itself as a conference destination: golf estates, coastal lodges in Wilderness and resorts near Herold's Bay host sales conferences and incentive groups from Gauteng and Cape Town. Delegates fly in to the local airport or drive the N2. Afrikaans and English dominate, with isiXhosa in Thembalethu. Rain can fall in any season on the Garden Route, so outdoor plans need a fallback.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Government departments and municipalities: programme directors for launches, summits, budget votes and departmental award ceremonies
- Schools, colleges and universities: MCs for graduation, prize-giving, academic conferences and school fundraising evenings
