Diversity Training is required once during employment at CCSU. This is a three-hour training divided into two parts. This first two-hour session is virtual and/or in person. Topics covered in the first two-hour session include: harassment, discrimination, sexual harassment, and bystander intervention; discrimination laws including sexual harassment laws and the protected classes; best practice for employer’s regarding discrimination and harassment; and how to file a complaint of discrimination and/or sexual harassment. The third hour consists of a 1-hour training module, Understanding and Preventing Microaggressions, available through NEOED. You will receive a link to the NEOED online module upon completion of the two-hour session. Please note that in order to fulfill the Diversity training requirement this online module must be completed.
