Through interactive content and actionable strategies, participants will learn to recognize and mitigate bias, fostering greater fairness, inclusion, and collaboration. By the end of this course, students will be equipped with tools to make more objective decisions, improve interpersonal relationships, and contribute to a more equitable environment in their workplace and community.
