In today's workplace

It is important to be able to work respectfully with people who have different professions, experiences, cultures and backgrounds.

Collaboration skills help individuals perform better in a team by understanding how to support and value others, manage difficult interactions and contribute to the team's work.

Collaboration is important because people are

more connected within communities, across the country and around the world.

Modern workplaces are more diverse, and many jobs require people to work with others from different backgrounds and cultures to complete tasks and solve problems.

With the assistance of the strategies in this masterclass, participants will be effective at work, as well as collaborate on new opportunities that may arise in the future.

This Masterclass is intended to

support the development of practitioners who have previously completed the core training program.
