Career webinar: Ouch That Stereotype Hurts
March 2, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
In the career webinar, “Ouch That Stereotype Hurts,” participants will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, jokes and emails.
The program will help explore why people don’t speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors. Six techniques will be explored for speaking up.
The Zoom workshop, being presented from 10 a.m.to 12 p.m. Thursday, March 2, has the audience think about whether they are equally respectful and effective with a “diverse” range of people including those that are similar and dfferent. While we may never be completely free of all bias, we can work toward communicating in a bias-free way.
This program is in collaboration with the Greater Raritan One-Stop Training Center and the Somerset County Library System (SCLS).
