Resources Created by the Diversity Hiring Coalition of Maine

In 2021, a number of DHC members became part of 3 working groups committed to creating practical, user-friendly resources for Maine employers on best practices related to networking and connections; hiring processes, and onboarding and retention of talent from diverse backgrounds.

We are so excited to roll out these resources!  First, we’d like to share resources on the translation of documents and utilizing interpreters and interpreter services with your staff.
