Implicit Bias Training – Hiring Teams & Admission

Our Implicit Bias Training workshop is a transformative and interactive session designed to raise awareness and foster understanding around unconscious biases that may influence decision-making and behavior, particularly within the structures of a hiring, leadership search, or admission process. Participants engage in thought-provoking discussions, experiential activities, and self-reflection exercises aimed at uncovering and addressing implicit biases. This 90-minute session is structured to look at levels of bias from both a cognitive and experiential approach, while equipping participants with practical strategies to mitigate their effects.

Inclusive & Equitable Hiring Training

The Inclusive & Equitable Hiring Training workshop is designed to equip all members of a school’s hiring teams (including, but not limited to, heads of school, senior administrators, division heads, department chairs, human resource professionals, and others) with the knowledge and tools necessary to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable hiring process. Through a combination of foundational training, interactive exercises, and dialogue-led discussions, this three-hour workshop focuses on allowing school hiring teams to be committed in enhancing efforts of creating a more diverse workforce by addressing systemic barriers and fostering a culture of inclusivity.
