Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities

Despite the Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold bans in West Virginia and Idaho on transgender athletes participating in women's and girls' sports, CT remains committed to ensuring that transgender women and girls remain protected and able to participate fully in sports throughout our state.

Training for Project Owners and Awarding Authorities

Each month, the Commission holds a training for awarding authorities (state agencies, quasi-public agencies, municipalities, and project owners who have received State funding). These trainings address the CHRO contract compliance process as it pertains to the entity awarding the contract. Trainings are conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams. Advanced registration is required. Please contact Jennifer Yeomans (Jennifer.Yeomans@ct.gov) with any questions or concerns.

Contractors seeking assistance with the CHRO requirements should instead refer to the Technical Assistance Sessions for Contractors. 

Trainings begin at 11:30 a.m.

Due to changes going into effect on July 1st, 2026, the CHRO will be hosting weekly sessions during the month of July.
