THE GOLD STANDARD: EMPIRICALLY PROVEN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TRAINING

Grungras Consultancy’s pedagogical approach is empirically tested and proven to deliver impactful learning outcomes. Our pre-training staff surveys initiate the engagement process before the workshops, enabling us to tailor the content to the specific interests and learning needs of both managers and participants. The multi-sensory workshops engage participants on cognitive and emotional levels, offering a fully immersive experience. Participants work directly with a world-renowned trainer, and, when possible, with guest presenters from their own cultural backgrounds. 

 

Agencies and training participants consistently report that our workshops empower them to handle cases effectively, particularly in SOGI/E credibility assessment. 

 

When integrated with our capacity-building and Credibility ConsultationSM services, our training and sensitization programs yield significant long-term organizational benefits.
