Working with New and Emerging Diverse Communities Training Course

As Australia grows, there is a bigger need for tailored training courses like “Working with New and Emerging Diverse Communities”.

Recent research carried out as part of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs’ Productive Diversity Partnerships program indicates that while there is growing awareness of an interest in diversity,
there remains a low level of practical action to capitalise on the opportunities afforded by Australia’s new and emerging communities.

This unique course is akin to putting your expectations of cultural norms under the microscope.

Course Description

Introduction to our In-House Workplace Composure and Self Composure Workshop

Recent research carried out as part of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs’ Productive Diversity Partnerships program indicates that while there is growing awareness of an interest in diversity, there remains a low level of practical action to capitalise on the opportunities afforded by Australia’s new and emerging communities.

A common response to presentations on the benefits of diversity is, “Yes, I understand, but what do we actually do?” This program is designed to help bridge the gap between understanding and action, between rhetoric and reality.

There are four prerequisites to effectively working with diversity in new and emerging communities:

Openness in both talking and listening
Empathy
Authenticity and self acceptance
Being a serious student of diversity
