Diversity Training

Course Overview

We will begin by introducing ourselves and discussing our agenda for the workshop. Participants are invited to identify their learning objectives, which allows us to design the workshop experience specifically for them.

Topics covered in this course

Included as part of the session will be discussion regarding diversity, affirmative action and the Equal Employment Opportunity.

What insider advice is at hand to help you navigate such situations with relative ease?
