    Diversity & Inclusion Training and Immersion
    Our Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity training starts with understanding the impact of diversity, inclusion, and equity on businesses and communities, in both short term and long term periods. We’ll explore cases studies where workplaces and businesses that have embraced D/I/E  principles have had remarkable results and been catalysts for positive community penetration and integration. NEW this year, we’re launching a diversity immersion program in which participants connect with community business leaders (in class & on company tours), learn about community programs, and are given resources, tools, and projects to grow or improve connections within diverse populations and professional organizations or businesses. Additionally, the topics of self-awareness, Conscious and Unconscious Biases, improving team engagement, and strategies for fostering inclusive and equitable cultures internally and externally, will be covered.

     

    Hands On / Real World Project Work: 

    During the leadership sessions, participants will have a unique opportunity to apply their leadership competencies to solve real business issues. Leadership participants are divided into teams and assigned to solve a strategic challenge that will be identified by a nonprofit organization.  Teams will work together throughout the 6 month leadership program and will prepare a final presentation to help solve a real world business challenge.
