What is diversity and inclusion??? Even I don't know till I did internship in saradha Valley Development samathi My recent internship at Saradha Valley Development Samithi, an NGO supporting the LGBTQ+ community, was a transformative experience. It challenged my own pre-conceived notions about diversity and inclusion. Prior to this internship, I must admit, I held some misconceptions about the LGBTQ+ community. However, through interaction and personal stories, I came to a profound realization: we are all human beings deserving of equal opportunity and respect. This experience resonated deeply with my aspirations for a career in Human Resources. It solidified my belief that talent should be the sole criterion for opportunity, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. This realization aligns perfectly with the growing emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) within organizations. While D&I is a frequently used term, translating it into action is where the true challenge lies. I am optimistic that organizations will increasingly embrace D&I principles, fostering workplaces that celebrate the unique contributions of every individual. #diversity #inclusion #internship

If you're interested in developing an indie game by yourself, or you're looking to gain more insight into what everyone else does in a game project, Indie Game Academy's Level 2 is THE program for you! I'm not saying this as the IGA Chief Wizard of Operations - I'm saying this as a satisfied customer! I've personally taken Level 2, and it was completely eye-opening. The skills I learned there, and the systems design knowledge I was taught by Rick Williams, was absolutely critical to my other game projects. Seriously - if you want to learn gamedev, IGA is the place to do it. If you're ready to make your own game and understand how and why it's all put together - Level 2 is the class for you!

Hello #highereducation colleagues! I am working on a project to create Identity Based Resource Documents for our resource library. The purpose of these documents is to provide students with the ability to find resources tailored to their unique #identitygroups (ex: #LGBTQ+, #studentsofcolor, #FirstGen, etc). Specifically, we are looking for any resources in the following categories: ✔ Internships & Jobs ✔ Community (Professional Associations and Networking Groups) ✔ Scholarships ✔ Know Your Rights (Legal protection in the workplace) Any suggestions or #resources you know of would be much appreciated!! 😄 🙏 #CareerServices #careerresources #studentidentities

If a company marks a job as Entry Level, it shouldn't need a Senior's worth of experience. 👏 Stop labeling open positions with the intention of paying people less. Jobseekers deserve better. #IndieRevolution 🔥 #GameIndustry #GameDevelopment #Hiring #EntryLevel #Internship #Recruiters #Community #Network #OpenToNetwork #Advice #Resource #LGBTQ+ #DEI #Support

This looks good.....🤗🤗🤗 The German job market is experiencing a shift towards inclusivity with companies like REWE leading the way by promoting #lgbtq and #religious inclusiveness. It would be interesting to see these companies potentially increasing hiring of #English speakers, providing training for a #Deutsch environment. I just noticed, REWE has over 1200 hiring posts on their career page. Where as lot my students are facing the challenges to find mandatory internships. Cause, they primarily speak English. 🤗🤗🤗 Language inclusiveness is also important in creating equal opportunities for all individuals in the workforce. 🤗🤗🤗 #rewe #hr #hr_practice #jobs #opportunity #inclusiveness

Start of image transcript: The image depicts a flag fluttering in the wind, creating a dynamic sense of movement and flow. The fabric feels smooth and silky, with each stripe of the flag carrying a distinct texture and meaning. Starting from the left, the flag has a section that feels firm and vibrant, representing a sense of boldness and pride. This section has a triangle shape with a rough texture, symbolizing the intersectionality of identities. The triangle features stripes that feel layered, each stripe’s texture slightly different, ranging from smooth to coarse, representing the diversity within the community. The first stripe within the triangle is soft and warm, evoking a feeling of comfort and inclusiveness. Following this, there are stripes that feel both rough and smooth, suggesting the challenges and resilience of different identities. The triangle also includes a smooth circle, centered and raised, symbolizing unity and wholeness. As the flag extends to the right, it transitions into horizontal stripes that feel smooth and silky, fluttering freely. Each stripe has a unique texture, from a slightly raised, velvety feel to a cool, satin-like touch, representing the spectrum of identities and experiences within the community. The movement of the flag in the wind creates a tactile sensation of waves and ripples, evoking a sense of continuous flow and progression. The background feels open and airy, suggesting a broad, expansive sky, enhancing the feeling of freedom and visibility. The overall tactile experience of this flag conveys a strong sense of pride, diversity, and unity, with each section and texture representing different aspects of the community it symbolizes. #pridemonth #inclusion #hiring

Talking to youngsters about D&I makes me happy! Just conducted an online session for #corporate interns yesterday, though offline is always more fun and effective. More to come! Everyone has felt left out or under-confident in different situations, but to have to feel that way all of one’s life because of a #disability one doesn’t choose to have is unfair. Every #individual can make a difference and every individual is here for a reason and purpose, and has something to offer. To remember that always is to understand D&I in its essence. #diversity & #inclusion #confidence #different
