Welkom notes on facilitators for hire
Gold mines and their contractors book facilitators for safety stand-downs, change workshops during restructuring and team sessions for underground crews. Municipalities and NPOs in Thabong and Odendaalsrus run community and local economic development workshops in Sesotho. Year-end functions for mines and businesses need MCs, and a facilitator used to large, mixed groups of surface and underground staff will keep the room with them.
Welkom: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Welkom was built as the centre of the Free State goldfields, and deep-level gold mining around Virginia, Odendaalsrus and Allanridge still drives much of the training here. Safety induction, underground supervisor courses, reskilling for workers affected by closures and community development sessions are the most common requests. Agriculture on the surrounding farms and the municipality add their own planning and training work. Venues are mainly guest houses, conference rooms in town and in Riebeeckstad, and a few lodges near the pans and dams outside town. Community programmes in Thabong run mostly in Sesotho. Most outside facilitators drive from Bloemfontein, about two hours, or from Johannesburg on the N1.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: production and safety improvement workshops with supervisors and shift teams
- Government departments and municipalities: public participation and stakeholder workshops, and departmental workshops on service delivery
- Training and skills development providers: curriculum and programme design workshops with subject experts and clients
