Introduction to Cultural Competency and Cultural Humility is the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people from many backgrounds, identities, and cultures. Because our workforce is increasingly diverse, we often work with people of different gender identities, races, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and sexual orientations. However, our preconceived notions, stereotypes, and assumptions often influence our interactions without our awareness. Engage in this interactive training to build personal awareness, reflect on your assumptions, and examine how your behaviors influence your daily responsibilities.
After attending this training, you will be able to:
Examine your own identity in relation to power and privilege
Identify and combat the implicit bias you bring your work
Discuss the impact of systemic, institutional, and individual "isms" on your job seekers
Assess your organization's cultural competency and identify area of improvement
