The County of Simcoe and its partners, Georgian College, member municipalities, the cities of Barrie and Orillia, and the Government of Ontario, are working together to deliver a free, one-day training opportunity that provides practical strategies for creating workplaces that embrace and uplift diverse experiences.

The training, provided by Georgian College, will teach business leaders, supervisors, team leads, and human resources professionals across sectors how to engage all employees to contribute their best and work across diverse identities to create positive change in their organization.

During this training opportunity, leaders will learn how to foster workplaces that embrace and uplift diverse lived experiences, where all people feel they belong, create lasting, transformative, impactful change, and cultivate inclusive thinking and behaviour.

Companies that complete the one-day training session for the Cultures of Belonging course will earn a digital badge that they can promote on their LinkedIn page or website. This course is the first of three modules in the Georgian College Diversity, Equity, and Belonging in the Workplace Micro-credential.

Participants may wish to pursue the remaining two courses in the micro-certificate following this course.

This is a free event; however, space is limited, and registration is required.

The event will take place at the Snow Valley Ski Resort, at 2632 Vespra Valley Road, Springwater, Ont., on Friday, Dec. 8, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
