Kit Overview

Welcome!

The EDUCAUSE Technology, Leadership and Culture Advisory Committee is excited to share a new learning and professional growth resource on inclusive hiring. The purpose of this Inclusive Hiring Kit is to highlight and recommend best practices for applying an inclusivity lens to each step of the hiring process:

The five microlearning units in this Inclusive Hiring Kit are the culmination of multiple conversations, programs, and meetings focused on how the higher education IT community can change hiring processes to better recruit and retain staff from varied backgrounds. Although the microlearning units in this guide are designed as step-by-step resources, they can be reviewed in any order.

Long-term and lasting progress toward inclusive and welcoming workplaces will require time, sustained effort, and the cumulative impact of incremental and individual actions. We encourage members of the higher education IT community to review their hiring processes along with this guide to identify opportunities for creating more inclusive practices, resources, and environments associated with hiring and retention.
