With the success of the Manitoba Provincial Nomination Program (PNP), the province of Manitoba welcomes about 200 newcomers every week, a number that is projected to double by 2017. The provincial population and workforce have consequently become more and more culturally and linguistically diverse.

To ensure the success of newcomers and of diverse businesses in Manitoba, the province has established a pool of Diversity and Intercultural Trainers who can provide organizations with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to attract, retain, and manage a diverse workforce.

Topics currently available include: The Role of Culture in the Organization; Culturally Sensitive Supervising; Inclusion of Second Language Speakers; Cross Cultural Communication for Supervisors; Developing High Performance Diverse Teams; and Conflict Resolution in the Diverse Workplace.
