Forsythes Training is partnering with the University of Newcastle Australia to offer its students a FREE short course Introduction to Equity and Cultural Capability.
The University of Newcastle online course covers cultural appropriateness, respectfulness, inclusive conduct, language and literacy. Through quizzes, discussions and activities, students can grow their understanding of cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural competence and cultural safety.
Students can complete the course, in a time convenient to them, while receiving support from a University of Newcastle Academic. The course takes approximately 15-20 hours and has no prior knowledge or education requirements. When students successfully complete the course, they receive a digital badge. They can add the badge to their online profiles, such as LinkedIn, and to their resume.
