Western HR Required Training

Western is committed to being part of the solution in creating a more inclusive place where we all feel a strong sense of belonging.

The Office of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI), in consultation with Student Experience, Human Resources, the Human Rights Office, employee group representatives, and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives, has developed an e-learning module called Building Inclusivity through Anti-Racism.

The module is self-paced and can be completed in approximately 45 minutes. To successfully complete the module, employees need 80% or higher on a quiz within OWL. The quiz can be re-taken as many times as needed. After successful completion of the quiz, participants can obtain a certificate confirming their completion of the e-learning module by clicking on "Certification" on the left side menu, and training records will be updated within My Human Resources.
