An excerpt from the Labor Press article by Silver Krieger about the NYCDCC Training Center’s Diversity and Inclusion Training program:

“Last month, the NYCDCC went further, launching its new Inclusion and Diversity program. Key elements of the program include: promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace; participating in active caring; and preventing sexual harassment, racism, and bias. Trained instructors will conduct mandatory 45-minute courses each week, ultimately rolling out the curriculum to all NYCDCC apprentices. Diversity and inclusion trainings will then be held annually and the curriculum will be incorporated in all apprenticeship onboarding programs going forward.”
