We provide carefully crafted organizational templates for learners to accomplish those specific skills within their organizational framework.

How can information literacy training and workforce development help my organization? Information literacy training offers a unique skill set and perspective guaranteed to expose you to resources and strategies capable of enriching your organizational mission and enhancing consumer satisfaction.
What is cultural competence? Cultural competence is the ability to translate cultural knowledge about ourselves and others and integrate it into positive habits of mind and professional practices appropriate in any given setting and/or workplace. In essence, your typical diversity mission is organizational window dressing whereas cultural competence is interpersonal and intrapersonal skill building, at the individual and corporate level.
Why is cultural competence important? Our immigrant history is the foundation of the American experience. It is the framework of who we are as a nation. It defines our legacy for future generations. At the core is our “uncommon”, common heritage that binds us as a people. Thus, living in an interdependent global society today requires a basic understanding of how one’s culture influences on human behavior at home, in school, in the voting booth, and in the workplace.
