Culturally Based Training
For organizations focused on cultural initiatives and achieving organizational competence in the areas of diversity and inclusion.
Can you imagine a place where all cultures interact well and are productive? Where prejudices and fears are at a minimum. A place where everyone is comfortable in his or her own skin. And all people feel valued and considered. Turning Point’s Cultural Training can help your organization or business get there. Turning Point provides cultural and diversity and inclusion training for businesses, non-profits and government organizations.

Experts in African American Training
The University of Minnesota identified Turning Point’s approach as a best practice for serving the African American community. We use theory-based practices, paired with the inclusion of African American values and principles, to deliver a reliable framework to address the needs of the population.
