Workshop on breaking diversity barriers
AUBURN — The Center for Workforce & Professional Development at Central Maine Community College (CMCC) will offer a free workshop titled “Breaking Barriers in Diversity” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, April 25.
Does understanding what it means to have a diverse group of employees the same as being inclusive? What is the difference between diversity and inclusion? Are these two terms interchangeable or are they on opposite ends of the spectrum? With help from Maine Intercultural Communication Consultants, the workshop will help navigate a seemingly blurred line by answering these and other questions. Attendees will also learn how understanding the difference between diversity and inclusion can affect their business or organization.
Lunch will be provided. For more information or to register, contact CMCC’s Center for Workforce & Professional Development at 207-755-5280, email workforcedevelopment@cmcc.edu or visit www.cmcc.edu/professionaldevelopment. Deadline for registration is Friday, April 19.
