Transforming culture does not happen through one meeting, one training, or one action plan. It is through ongoing community investment.
About the Program
Culture Champions is a 12-month internship program for individual contributors sponsored by the Berkeley IT People, Performance & Culture team and managed by Britt McClintock, DEIB Lead. This is an opportunity to create a team of advocates — champions across our organization with representation from each unit — that will help to move our DEIB work forward toward a more inclusive future.
The 2023-2024 cohort will first learn the meaning and foundations of DEIBJA; help create curriculum and training specific to their unit; implement skills and techniques to foster DEIBJA culture. We are looking for interns from each unit at Berkeley IT (CITE - 2 champions; CITI - 1 champion; CAD - 2 champions; Bus Ops/S&P/OCIO - 1 champion; ISO - 1 champion).
This is a paid internship. Non-represented interns will receive a 5% stipend. Represented interns will receive compensation consistent with their respective contracts. This internship provides ongoing training development and cross-unit collaboration with the program support along the way.
