Community Colleges of Spokane (CCS) will offer Search Advocate training to organizations who seek to enhance their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts in talent acquisition. In this interactive workshop the CCS trainers provide an overview of the forms of bias, their effects on the recruitment process, and strategies to mitigate risk, ensuring a fair and inclusive search. HR practitioners, higher education leaders, staff and faculty interested in evidence-based best practices will come away with applicable tools as search committee members, chairs and consultants.
