Do you offer a payment plan for the Reframing Racism Training?
CEI is committed to enhancing our communities by educating the public on issues of equity, diversity and inclusion. Our public trainings are $650 because of the intensity of the workshop, time-commitment, materials, and to ensure the most expert and engaging facilitators are leading. The experience is rewarding, challenging and critical. During registration, participants will have the opportunity to donate additional dollars to the scholarship fund which will provide tuition assistance to those in need. Additionally, in each training, CEI will provide full scholarships for up to 3 individuals. If you would like to request financial assistance or a full scholarship, please contact Shafina Fazal- Gardner at shafina@ceipdx.org
Can I share the online course with others in my company?
No. CEI allows one user per registrant. We do however, encourage you to take your learning to your teams and practice leading them through some of the activities. For companies interested in providing this course for multiple staff, CEI will provide a group rate. Additionally, a company may purchase our course and have unlimited use for all staff. To learn more about that please contact Shafina Fazal-Gardner at shafina@ceipdx.com
