Cultural Competency online course begins March 6
Creating organizations that are culturally competent is not an altruistic wish, but rather a business strategy to ensure our workforce reflects, represents, and is responsive to the communities with whom we collaborate and serve and perhaps more critically, how we shape our programs, exhibits, and collections. While cultural competency has long been incorporated into the medical disciplines and the fields of psychology and social work they have been slow to enter the cultural heritage professions.
