Seeing things come together is a great experience. It was all made possible by the dedication of the IRCA staff. People have recognised the roles they can play and are making wonderful contributions to the Programme. It goes further than just good business practice,not to get too heartfelt but it goes into nation building and well the simple practice of people helping each other out.
The way in which the health and Safety course was delivered was such a good inclusive process. It was good to see a Carel the trainer let his hair down and enjoy even more so what he likes doing best I think it has reminded him of why he got into education in the first place. His inputs have been invaluable and the difference in the trainees is substantial.
The trainees are, or have found there feet and are now getting to the next hurdle which is to see exactly how there role will fit into the rest of IRCA. The role of safety rep for the various departments will give them and opportunity to put into practice what they have learnt and will give them an open door into corporate life.
Having done an inspection, hazard identification and risk assessment the trainees have shown the value of the practical component of learning. Under the supervision of a mentor it was wonderful to see how quickly they can come to terms with new concepts. Wow they have a lot of questions!
ON the lighter side of things many of the trainees didn't get much sleep last night as either they are stressed about the test today or they dread the fact that they are going to receive the hardest driving lesson they have ever had. Yes it is true that "JO the not so slow" Enslin is joining us in our team building in the go carts. Ironic that he will be demoralising them all so much in order to build them up again. A bit like "Camp Staaldraad" I thinks.
Seriously though it is going to be a good opportunity to get to know everyone on a different level having been couped up in a training room all week.
Here is to a great week!!
