MDI brings in the Empowerment Institute to help learners and employees strengthen Emotional Intelligence skills they can use on the job. In a fast-paced production environment, participants are learning to recognize emotions, communicate more openly, and respond professionally when frustrations and setbacks happen.

Since 2021, Dunwoody has brought in the Empowerment Institute to provide Empowerment training for their Pathways to Careers students. The sessions help students build confidence, strengthen self-awareness, and develop tools to work through challenges as they move through school and toward their careers.
