Dear Client:
The Illinois Department of Human Rights’ (IDHR) Institute for Training and
Development is administered by the Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes. Together they are
able to bring valuable trainings to organizations and companies throughout Illinois designed to
increase respect among diverse cultures both in the workplace and at home.
These life skills and self-assessment trainings aim to provide timely
and accurate information with respect to federal and state laws regarding fair employment practices; ways to resolve
conflict; and requirements for non-discrimination. Much, if not all of what is learned in
class has practical applications in terms of how we interact and cope in our culturally diverse
society.
IDHR Training Institute participants will be instructed on employer obligations under the
Illinois Human Rights Act, as well as applicable rules and regulations promulgated by this statute.
Training participants are guided through real-life scenarios to aid in understanding the application
of the law in more pragmatic terms. In addition, valuable resource materials including publications
and handouts are supplied for the purposes of independent study and on-the-job reference tools.
All trainings, workshops and seminars offered by the IDHR Institute for Training and Development are
interactive and appropriate for private sector, local, state and federal government employers.
Our certified trainers offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of non-discrimination.
The training curricula are constantly updated to reflect the most current information and changes in
the law.
