Join us for an engaging in-person experience. During this event, participants will engage with learning leaders on how to move DEIA forward as an individual contributor, manager, or learning leader.
Your agency should have a DEIA strategic plan for 2022 in place. Now what? How can you play an active role in implementing the plan? What ongoing support do you need to achieve success?
This workshop is designed to guide and assist training officers, leaders, and practitioners in getting real work done to support their organization’s efforts to implement their DEIA strategic plans. We know that making a substantive change can be challenging. We want to provide a forum to help you solve real and timely problems through discussion, collaboration, and building an ongoing community.
Specifically, participants should be able to do the following by the end of the workshop:
o Examine their agency’s DEIA strategic plan
o Assess their agency’s progress using the DEIA Maturity Model
o Discuss challenges with implementing their agency’s DEIA strategic plan
o Create a plan to implement at least one strategic goal of their agency’s DEIA strategic plan
o Build a community of government DEIA practitioners to support each other beyond the workshop
Participants should bring their agency’s DEIA strategic plan that addresses how they plan to advance DEIA within their workforce and address potential barriers to equal employment opportunities.
We have a full half-day agenda for you!
