What is Cultural Competence?
Diversity awareness and cultural sensitivity are the just beginning. If you want the success of your organization to last, cultural competence is the answer. Cultural competence is “the integration and transformation of knowledge about individuals and groups of people into specific standards, policies and practices to be used accordingly” (Davis) so as to increase the quality of services; thereby producing better outcomes. Cultural Competence Training includes 5 steps:

Institutionalization & Practice
Adaptation
Cultural Competence Training for Businesses and Non-Profits
Cultural Competence Training for Schools and School Districts
Cultural Competence Training for Colleges and Universities
