The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce and the Lackawanna College Continuing Education Department are offering a Diversity in the Workplace training on Tuesday, October 23rd.

During this one-day program attendees will learn business practices that are culturally sensitive and inclusive. Participants will prepare themselves for managing the dynamic of differences, through self-awareness, identifying their cultural communication skills and the culture of the organization. The participants will explore diversity through deep and surface culture, be aware of their privilege and power, and develop skills to have greater insight into the social/cultural issues needed to affect positive change in their organization. And they will understand why it makes business sense to have employees become culturally competent.

 

The training is being facilitated by Joyce Avila, Master's in Bilingual/Bicultural Education and will run from 1 pm to 4 pm at Lackawanna College Hazleton Center, located at 2 East Broad Street in Downtown Hazleton. The cost to participate is $175 per person.
