Cultural Competency
Series For Leaders (1 Bronze, 1 Silver, 1 Gold) (R,O,G,V)
Wednesdays: September 18 & 25, October 2, 9, & 16, 4:00
– 5:30 PM
MacVittie College Union Hunt Room
What attributes do top employers list as “most”
important? Communication skills (verbal and written); honesty/integrity;
teamwork (works well with others); interpersonal skills (relates
well to others); and a strong work ethic are the top five. These
“soft skills” are important in today’s workplace,
in part because of the diversity of the new multinational workforce.
Employers recognize the challenges that come with learning to
communicate and problem solve across diverse work teams.
The Cultural Competency for Leaders Series is a five-week program
that will help you: explore what it means to be a culturally competent
leader; learn the benefits of strong cross-cultural work teams;
practice strategies for overcoming cross-cultural communication
barriers; and identify the cultural influences that can contribute
to conflict.
Upon completion of the workshops and the required journals, you
will receive a certificate of attendance and 3 GOLD Certificate
Program credits, one each in the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.
More importantly, you will be on your way to developing a skill
set that employers need.
Instructor: Kelly Clark, Director, Multicultural Affairs
