From Taboo to Transparent: Embracing Transparency and Leaning into Awkward Topics

Friday, May 30, 2025
11:30 AM – 12:20 PM PST
Hiring, promotion, and professional development in education abroad can produce awkward moments for all involved, even seasoned professionals, especially when it is assumed that everyone is operating with the same information.

Learning Objectives:

  • Engage in interactive discussion about transparency in hiring practices, promotion and advancement, and professional development.
  • Conduct independent self reflection on a challenge they are currently navigating within the three topics.
  • Define transparency and how it relates to your work within the international education community.
  • Learn to consider the multigenerational workplace as a space for learning, listening, and supporting one another toward common goals for transparency communication in the workplace.
