Diversity & Inclusion Training

Employee Education Events

ORMDI promotes a healthy working environment through prevention, resolution, and processing of workplace disputes, including complaints of discrimination. We foster prevention by ensuring that managers and staff are educated on the elements of a healthy working environment. In support of our Mission and Vision, ORMDI has compiled a list of diversity and inclusion resources relevant for all VA employees. These, and many other learning resources, can be accessed in the Talent Management System (TMS).

In addition to the mandatory and ancillary courses listed below, virtual instructor-led training (VILT) may be requested by submitting your requirement to the D&I Training Team.
