What is FTCP?
FTCP prepares individuals from a wide variety of fields (e.g. educators, healthcare professionals, corporate diversity and inclusion specialists, non-profit professionals, etc.) with the essential skills to facilitate dialog around and train others on diversity, equity and inclusion content. The FTCP builds internal capacity for organizations to move from mere awareness of diversity to deep and lasting change that creates a truly inclusive and equitable community for employees and constituents.
COST OF THE FTCP
The cost to register for Cohort 28 is $3,550. This price includes all tuition, fees, and materials for an online Inclusion Institute, Training-of-Trainers, and Capstone.
*Facilitrainer is NCCJ St. Louis’ term for those who have earned their CDFT Credential: a term to represent the person’s ability to facilitate dialog and train on content.
PROGRAM SCOPE
Each FTCP cohort accommodates up to 26 individuals and comprises over 100 hours of training, divided into three components: an Inclusion Institute (II), Training-of-Trainers (ToT) workshops, and the Peer Workshop Capstone. The FTCP process is intensive and designed for people who plan and lead diversity, equity and inclusion learning opportunities in their organization.
INCLUSION INSTITUTE (II)
ONLINE
A four-day intensive experience of NCCJ’s full-immersion diversity, equity and inclusion training program for adults. Our multi-identity approach to diversity, equity and inclusion provides an unparalleled learning experience for participants to create more inclusive organizations and demonstrates the dynamics of systemic discrimination and bias in our society.
During these sessions, the participants do their "own work" to understand and overcome personal conscious and unconscious bias, learn about experiences of others with different identities (e.g. racial, gender, sexual identity, socio-economic), and work to bridge differences. Participants will learn how, with love and concern, to critically view the world around them.
Come and the see the world with a new lens!
Please note: attendance for each day of the retreat is required.
TRAINING-OF-TRAINERS (TOT)
ONLINE
Six day-long workshops spread out over several months that provide participants the theory, skills, and practice around diversity, equity and inclusion training. When completed, participants will have the skills needed to develop and deliver powerful educational opportunities to their organizations. Specific skills that will be addressed include:
navigating different perspectives
workshop development
creating psychological safety
facilitating dialogue
training on theoretical content
using narratives and stories to help the learning process
understanding interpersonal, societal and institutional dynamics of oppression
and more!
Participants become diversity, equity and inclusion subject matter experts and have the tools necessary to move their organizations toward a more inclusive, welcoming community and environment.
(Attendance at all sessions is required but make up sessions can be rescheduled if needed – please advise availability when you apply)
PEER WORKSHOP CAPSTONE
ONLINE
This final component of the learning process is a three-day capstone experience. Here the participants will have the opportunity to showcase what they have learned. They will answer questions on the core program content covered during the FTCP, and co-lead a demonstration workshop of their own design. The structure of the capstone allows participants to receive valuable feedback from their peers and instructors.

Commitment to equity
NCCJ St Louis is committed to the equitable treatment of individuals in the following social identities: ability status, age, appearance/size, class, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. While NCCJ recognizes that none of us will ever be perfect at this, participants will be expected to demonstrate their commitment to working towards this goal in order to successfully complete FTCP and receive the Certified Diversity Facilitrainer (CDFT) certification.
Completing the FTCP makes you eligible to use the CDFT (Certified Diversity FaciliTrainer)™ credential, provided your certification is in good standing.
