What Is Building a Successful, More Inclusive Search (Individual)?

Building a Successful, More Inclusive Search is a self-paced e-learning course that provides you with tools and resources to take a more inclusive approach to the search process.

Who Should Take Building a Succesful, More Inclusive Search (Individual)?

It is ideal for all campus leaders, particularly HR professionals, that need the knowledge and skills to cultivate diverse applicant pools for faculty and staff positions, and to create an inclusive search process.

I found the modules very helpful in explaining the issue at hand and how we can change mindsets. I thoroughly enjoyed the videos we were prompted to watch because I was able to watch the breakdown of a scenario, good and bad.

What Will I Learn?

Available in individual and group-learning. By taking this course, you’ll learn how to:

• Broaden your outreach and recruitment efforts;
• Disrupt the status quo of search committees on campus;
• Overcome barriers and biases in the search process; and
• Enrich the candidate pool for faculty and staff positions.

After completing the course, you’ll be able to more effectively facilitate an inclusive search committee process on your campus.

The course was conceived by CUPA-HR’s national board of directors and the diversity, equity and inclusion committee, and features content developed by Emeritus Group Consultants. Course content is consistent with the association’s learning framework of higher ed HR competencies, which guides all CUPA-HR education and programming.
