Course Description

This training provides participants with a complete overview of respecting LGBTQ+ people in the workplace and communities. There are many aspects of terminology, stereotypes, political debates, and other challenging concepts that present barriers to allyship for this community. This training will unpack challenging terms, challenge misconceptions about the community, provide participants with applicable best practices, and help the organization create a respectful community for their LGBTQ+ employees and customers.

Facilitation Strategies

The Trainer can deliver the training through Zoom or through the organization’s online platform of choice. Participants will engage in interactive activities layered with opportunities for self-reflection and small group dialogue. Handouts, reflection worksheets, and small group discussion guidelines will be included in the provided digital materials. Small group break-out discussions can be used to explore many of the topics. Even in the virtual platform, the presentations are engaging and encourage active audience participation that strengthens the overall learning environment.

Evaluation

As requested by the organization, a pre-test and post-test evaluation can be distributed to all attendees for each portion of the training to properly assess the effectiveness of each portion and to track the organization’s progress on their DEI&B learning objectives. The Trainer will work with the organization to develop the evaluations to ensure that the assessment is tracking the knowledge and skills that best align with their goals.
