Training Workshops

The following 5 Training Workshops form the building blocks for all training efforts.

meeting

Workshop #1: ‘The Primary Event Organizer Process’ (PEO Process)
Target Audience: Student leaders and students identified as the PEO for an Event (e.g. Club Presidents/Executive members; Residence Councils and RA’s).
Workshop is designed to:

  • Raise awareness levels on risk, negligence, accountability, and the importance of event planning
  • Introduce student leaders and PEO’s to the 3-step risk management process
  • Introduce basic event planning skills.

Workshop #2: ‘Event Planning’
Target Audience: Same as Workshop #1 above – i.e. anyone directly involved in planning and running an event.

The objective of this Workshop is to provide event planners with the necessary planning skills and tools to organize and implement safe events.
The Workshop is structured into 3 sections:

  • Event Assessment & Approval
  • Event Planning
  • Event Planning Resources
  • Importance of Checklists
    ‘Pre-Event’ Planning checklists
    ‘Day-of-Event’ checklists
    ‘Post Event’ checklists

Workshop #3: ‘PEO Process plus Event Planning’
This combination workshop allows participants to view both workshops consecutively.

Workshop #4: ‘Events – Let’s Get Real’
In this workshop,  a much more hard-hitting approach is adopted.  This ‘blunt’ approach may be needed for student event organizers who still ‘don’t get it’, and need an extra jolt of reality!

Workshop #5: ‘Events Risk Profile’
This workshop provides hands-on training on how to determine just how risky an event is.  By assigning values to ‘probability’ and ‘severity’, it is possible to calculate a risk rating for an event.  Does the event have too high a risk rating, and if yes, what are the options: cancel – or modify to make the risk more manageable?

Our department profited greatly by having multiple staff go through the online course. We have long felt that risk management best practices are so pervasively important to all our programs and facilities that it only made sense that our staff members with unique oversight and management of these areas take part in the course. The take-away from this approach has been a unified understanding of the nature of risk management of campus recreation on a macro level with a much more refined appreciation of application within their areas of specialization.
