EDI Training for Lab Members

In our lab, everyone is expected to take basic EDI training. This helps us build a respectful, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.

Trainees are asked to complete a few short workshops like the Respectful Workplace and Human Rights Training from the University of Alberta, and the GBA+ (Gender-Based Analysis Plus) course from the Government of Canada.

Aminpour lab is happy to cover the cost if it’s something relevant and helpful.
