History of ING Diversity Trainings with Government Agencies, 1994-present

ING’s diversity training seminars help to increase government capacity for addressing growing religious and ethnic diversity, persistent disparities, and the promotion of equity. ING has over 25 years of experience successfully delivering diversity training seminars to government agencies, including to law enforcement personnel, judges, attorneys, and court administrators, and city, state, and federal government employees and officials. Our diversity trainings are available in one-to-four-hour formats, are available across the nation, and are delivered by our speakers.
