We can bring cultural competence training to you!

Hosting a training workshop for all of your employees is convenient and cost effective. With on-site training you control the date, time, and location, and we will work with you to customize the training content so that it's a perfect fit for your organization's needs. With group training, everyone learns the same skills at the same time. Group training is also helpful for improving employee relations, morale, and ultimately, your bottom line.

Below is a sample of a three hour training workshop that ICIU can bring to your organization. Other workshop topics can be found by going to Potential Training Topics or ICIU can design a workshop to specifically meet your needs.
