An Overview Of Diversity Training Baltimore MD

By Arthur Harris


When it comes to inclusion, it is often an oversight. As such, there is now state based and private Diversity Training Baltimore MD. In the state of Maryland, the chief legal officer is the Attorney General whom is in control of monitoring and reviewing infractions in this area.

The sitting Attorney General has taken a new approach by providing a number of training programs while also enforcing and administering State and Federal laws related to biases, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other actions which can prevent safe living and working environments. For, the office believes it is essential to not only answer to, but also reflect the needs of diverse individuals and communities.

In seeing diversity as a positive aspect of society, the Baltimore Attorney General believes that it is a key to problem solving and increased productivity in various work environments. Whereas, through acceptance of diverse individuals and communities, business and community relationships have grown over the years. In large part, this growth along with a commitment towards equality and justice has helped create better work environments and a more peaceful society at large.

It is also this commitment which has resulted in the office hiring a diverse yet qualified staff through creating a number of initiatives. One of these programs, sponsored by the Attorney General was created to foster sensitivity and diversity in the workplace. The primary focus of the group to date has been on four main areas. These areas include, retention, hiring, education, events, training programs, advice and legislation.

Other programs offered in this area include the Unconscious Bias Training in which individuals learn more about how the unconscious mind works. For example, most individuals experience having a brain flooded with millions of pieces of data though only being able to process a small portion. As unconscious biases effect every individual, this class helps individuals learn how such biases effect decision-making and how to eliminate the biases in the future.

The Community Law in Action Corporate Mentoring Program in association with the CLIA's Law and Leadership Academy trains high school juniors and seniors in the greater Baltimore area. In this program, students learn how to locate internships in different areas of the legal field while developing and strengthening existing skills. In many cases, these programs and internships are the first access students have to a professional work environment.

One other collaborative effort of the Attorney General and several law firms works to attract diverse students who show exceptional leadership with a devotion to the public good through public service programs. In the process, the program hopes to create a pipeline of diverse and qualified candidates desiring to work in the legal field. For, there are a great number of opportunities in different areas of law both inside and outside the government.

Students whom plan to attend a private sector training program need be cautious of scams. For, there are a number of entities promoting these educational programs whom have no experience when it comes to training others. As a result, the Attorney General and others often advise individuals to run background checks on, and obtain references from, any individual or company before registering for a program or making payment.
