SUMMARY:Permit Required Confined Space Entry
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater facilities contain many confined spaces which can be dangerous to operators. We will discuss common confined spaces in water and wastewater facilities and the difference between a confined space and a permit-required confined space. This class will build awareness about the safety hazards of a confined space such as atmospheric hazards (hydrogen sulfide\, methane); mechanical hazards; and blood-borne pathogens that are a concern for wastewater collection system workers. You will learn about the proper protective equipment\, procedures for entry into a permit-required confined space\, the need for a rescue plan\, and how to rescue a co-worker if the situation arises.

SUMMARY:Recruiting and Retention for Gender Equity
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that job seekers spend just 49.7 seconds reviewing a listing before deciding it’s not a fit? What do potential employees see when they visit your job listings? This workshop will provide a brief recap of the economic benefits of workplace diversity\, and provide tools and strategies for attracting gender diverse candidates to your company or organization. We will review internal and external messaging\, effective job descriptions\, and best practices for interviewing for diversity. Lastly\, we will talk about some benefits and supports that help to create a “human-friendly” workplace that will make any employee want to stay for the long haul! \nCredit:2 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nWebinarThe Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before class.

SUMMARY:Busting Gender Bias
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore the messages we all received growing up about gender and how those messages continue to influence our attitudes\, beliefs and behaviors today. We will review terms related to gender and discuss gender norms through facilitated small-group conversations. Participants will dive deeper into the concept of implicit bias and learn about microaggressions or “everyday bias” that frequently shows up in more subtle ways. Finally\, participants will learn how to be good allies\, and practice “ready responses” for interrupting bias. \nCredit:\n3 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nProctor\nLiz Royer\, VRWA \nInstructors\nAlison Lamagna and Missy Mackin\, Vermont Works for Women
