Potchefstroom notes on facilitators for hire
Schools and the university book facilitators for staff strategy days, governing body workshops and leadership camps for learners. Agricultural organisations and co-operatives hold planning sessions here, and NPOs in Ikageng and Promosa run youth and community workshops in Setswana and Afrikaans. Local academics and consultants often facilitate, so ask how a facilitator will stay neutral if they have links to the institution or the client.
Potchefstroom: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Potchefstroom is a university town with a large army base, which makes it unusual among North West cities. The campus brings academic conferences, staff development days and short courses, while the military presence adds its own training rhythm. Agricultural research and the surrounding grain farms bring farmer days and co-operative sessions, and the Mooi River frames a quiet town centre with guest houses and small conference venues. Schools, including several boarding schools, book staff development and leadership camps. Facilitators often come from Johannesburg, about 90 minutes away on the N12, but many local academics and consultants also facilitate. Student holidays change which venues and accommodation are free.
Typical strategic planning facilitators requests in the area come from:
- Schools, colleges and universities: university and college strategy sessions, and school development planning with governing bodies
- NPOs, churches and community groups: NPO board strategy days and three-year plans prepared for funders
