Cultural Competency

Cultural Competency teaches the willingness and ability to interact respectfully and effectively with individuals and groups, acknowledging the common elements of cultural identities.

As organizations turn to hiring employees from many parts of the world, there in an increased need for cultural understanding as diversity continues to grow in the workplace. Culture is the shared values, traditions, norms, customs, art, history, folklore and institutions of a specific group of people.

The Cultural Competency Training course will provide you with the knowledge and ability to interact respectfully and effectively with individuals and groups, acknowledging the common and different elements of our cultural identities. The result is words and actions that recognize, affirm and value the worth of individuals and communities and protect and preserve the dignity of each.
