February:

February 10, 3PM - 4PM: Supporting Workers of Color Under WIOA

March:

March 16, 2PM-4PM: Organizational Change to Achieve Equity
  • YW Boston’s approach centers on creating diversity, inclusion and equity through hearing many voices as the basis to enact change. YW research shows that increasing knowledge by itself does little to change people’s attitudes and company culture regarding race and gender. This is why the YW workshops center behavioral change at three levels: micro (individual), meso (interpersonal and cultural), and macro (institutional policies and practices). Throughout this interactive workshop facilitators will introduce best practices and examine successful case studies.
