Extension Cultural Competency
Training on cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) helps our staff advance a diverse, equitable and inclusive community and workplace. This training helps staff understand the roles of power, privilege, oppression, and social identities within our communities and organizations, and broadens understanding of historical and current barriers that impact the lives of constituents and colleagues at personal, interpersonal, institutional and culture levels. Training in DEI and cultural competency helps staff to understand their own culture, socialization and social identities and to recognize and appropriately respond and adapt to cultural similarities and differences.
