VCET: The Better Startup Workshop

  • VCET 266 Main St Burlington, VT 05401 (map)

Learn how Diversity & Inclusion can help you succeed

Why you should attend

Are you curious about whether and how Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) can benefit startups or growing companies? Do you support D&I, but don’t know where to find talent from diverse backgrounds? Are you looking for ways to make your startup a more inclusive and welcoming environment?

Regardless of how you feel about D&I, you are invited to attend our Better Startup workshop, where you will learn how D&I can help you grow a happier and more successful company.

What  you will learn

This free workshop will show you how D&I can impact on your growth and your ability to succeed, and increase the satisfaction and retention of your team.

Key Takeaways:

•  How D&I will have a measurable impact on your startup’s growth and ability to succeed

•  Why it is important to embrace D&I from the start, rather than try to “fix it later”

•  Policies, benefits and initiatives that will make your company more inclusive

•  Access to our Better Startup Toolkit

Because these workshops are fully supported by the E.M. Kauffman Foundation, there are no costs and no strings attached. To help improve our workshops and to measure the impact of our work, we ask participants to fill out a brief survey after the workshop, and we will follow up every six months or so to find out whether you hired any new staff.

Seating is limited, reserve your spot today!

*Please note: badge access is required, so if you are not a VCET member, please contact Sam to coordinate entry: sam@vcet.co 

The Better Startup workshops are brought to you by Aleria Research Corp (ARC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that leverages scientific research to drive greater inclusion and equality in our society, and are supported by a generous grant from the Kauffman Foundation.
