Here’s how it’s transforming traditional DEI training: 🤝 Partnered Learning: Participants are paired with culturally diverse partners, fostering real-world learning through shared experiences and mutual growth. ⏳Long-Term Engagement: Unlike short-term sessions, CCLP spans 6-12 months, enabling deeper exploration and continuous skill development. 📈 Real Application & Measurable Impact: What makes these sessions unique? Every conversation is customized to fit your organization’s culture and challenges. Plus, supplemented with pre- and post-program intercultural competence assessments, participants can track tangible progress after the program.
