CADIA Workshops: Break the Bias in 2022 |
|
CADIA offers more than 25 different workshops live, in person or virtually. Unconscious Bias is one that is frequently requested. Beyond the science of bias, CADIA's workshop explores where bias shows up in the workplace and its unintended consequences. The workshop identifies ways to overcome bias at the individual and organizational level by being aware and intentional when it comes to finding, hiring and truly engaging people at all levels.
Let CADIA facilitate the conversations that foster understanding, growth and change. Contact Jennifer Harding for more information on how to bring this workshop to your workplace.

STEAM Sports Foundation |
|
The STEAM Sports Foundation scholarship for “Women of Color” seeks aspiring female engineers and technicians who desire careers in the automotive or motorsports industry with an emphasis on engineering, alternative energy, or autonomous vehicle development. The two-year, $10,000 grants ($5,000 per year) are open to rising college juniors and two-year technical school students. Applications opened in March and can be found at steamsportsfoundation.org.
In its effort to support racial diversity, equity and inclusion, the foundation believes very strongly in providing unique career opportunities to those who previously were not encouraged to explore these innovative fields or believed opportunities did not exist for them. The foundation desires to be leading agents and advocates for change. For more information visit: steamsportsfoundation.org |
