Cultural Competence

Recommended course length: Full day; but can be condensed into a half-day if required

Overview

This workshop will help participants to develop cultural competency through understanding what skills they may need to develop and the importance of inclusive communication at all levels of a business. Participants will be able to reflect on their behaviour, review their own practice, and be more confident in dealing with cultural differences and biases.

This class is a natural progression from our Cultural awareness course and examines cultural issues in greater depth. If you have not already undertaken cultural awareness training, we strongly recommend adding this class before beginning our Cultural competence course.
