Employees are taught how to prevent employment discrimination from occurring in the workplace.  DCEO’s management preference is to prevent discrimination in the workplace when compared to the costs for remedying the consequences of discrimination. EOMC is committed to providing training and technical assistance, outreach and education programs to understand and prevent discrimination.  EOMC conducts ongoing training opportunities (i.e. webinars, teleconferences, video conferences, on-site training, informational alerts, and provide the latest EO news bulletins) for LWIA EO Officers. The State WIOA EO Officer directs individualized and sometimes, specialized technical assistance when needed. Individualized training is necessary to assist new EO Officers in their respective positions.  DCEO also supports training for LWIA EO Officers through attendance at educational seminars and skill-building workshops (Attachment 2.7--see the References tab).   Expected outcomes are to eliminate discriminatory practices, sexual harassment, and other EO issues in the workplace.  EOMC staff maintains certification in Internal Investigations, including certification from George Washington University in Conducting Advanced Workplace Investigations as well as Writing Final Agency Actions through the EEOC in Washington D.C.
