The primary goal of the Cañada College team in participating in the 2025-26 LFM Academy is to design and implement a professional development framework that ensures all employees—from faculty to staff and administrators—are trained in both the skills required to perform their jobs and the principles of equity and anti-racism. This includes creating job-specific modules covering operational tasks, college processes, and the application of equitable practices in day-to-day interactions with students and colleagues. By focusing on this dual approach to job training and equity, the college aims to ensure consistent, high-quality support for all students.
