The Passport to a Diverse Workplace is a self-directed learning resource designed to deliver content on overarching issues of diversity and cultural competency.

This series of six short videos is an online resource to building a level of comfort and link to useful resources while navigating the rewards and challenges of workplace diversity. The electronic passport provides the learner with the opportunity to record their journey and make notes of resources and tools of interest to them. It also provides a tool with which to share their learning with their peers.

The Passport to Diversity Project is a project of the IEHP – (Internationally Educated Health Professionals) Atlantic Connection Phase 11 Project funded through the Health Canada, Health Care Strategies and Contribution Program in collaboration with the Health Care Human Resource Sector Council.
