Join us for an engaging 60-minute workshop designed for first-generation students. We’ll explore what makes a workplace truly inclusive and share tools to help you identify and contribute to such environments.
In this workshop, we’ll engage in group discussions to define the key elements of an inclusive workplace and share personal insights. Through interactive activities, you'll assess your own workplace values, learn strategies to advocate for your identity needs, and explore the role of employee resource groups. We’ll also cover how to evaluate job postings for inclusivity and diversity. You’ll leave with practical tools, a personalized list of DEI-friendly companies, and the confidence to navigate your career choices. Let's pave the way for inclusive and diverse workplaces together!
