CCP for Individuals
The Cultural Competence Program (CCP) for individuals is available via web browser as two distinct courses, Core Inclusion and Culture, as part of the Exploring Plan package. The online training program is aimed at building capability around cultural diversity in the workplace. Each course is made up of films, animations and interviews featuring real stories from a diverse range of people, as well as a wealth of supporting resources.
Individuals who complete the program receive a certificate (plus CPD points from participating organisations).
The program takes approximately 3 hours to complete.

The CCP explores topics including cross-cultural communication, addressing stereotypes, unconscious bias, diversity and the benefits of multiculturalism in the workplace.
