Training & Development
Not your generic diversity training.
Structured, evidence-informed training that builds your team’s capability and confidence to work with multicultural young people.
Delivered through in-person workshops, public training or tailored corporate sessions, our training can be customised to your organisation’s specific context.
Powered by Centre for Multicultural Youth’s 35+ years of experience working with multicultural young people, our training draws on current practice, real case studies and the barriers multicultural young people are facing right now. We don’t deliver generic diversity training.
Participants leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately, plus insights that can inform organisational policy, marketing campaigns, recruitment practices, complaints processes and supervision frameworks when a single workshop isn’t enough.
