During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, Florida State University (FSU) has joined Attorney General Ashley Moody's 100 Percent Club, a recognition program for businesses and organizations committed to training employees on how to spot and report human trafficking. By partnering with FSU, the Attorney General aims to spread awareness and increase the number of people trained to combat this heinous crime.
Attorney General Ashley Moody expressed her excitement about FSU's involvement, stating, "We are excited to have FSU on our team to end human trafficking in Florida. By training these future leaders, we spread awareness across our state and increase the number of people trained to spot and report human trafficking."
With over 44,000 students and 15,000 employees, FSU has a significant community that can make a difference in the fight against human trafficking. Students, faculty, and staff at FSU can now access the statewide training module through the university's online academic platform, Canvas.
By completing the training, students not only gain valuable knowledge but also earn a badge on their electronic resumes and receive a digital certificate of completion. This recognition can demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility in their future careers.
To kick off FSU's membership in the 100 Percent Club, the university is hosting an event today at 4:00 p.m. The event aims to inform students, faculty, and staff about the latest developments in the fight against human trafficking and provide a training session. The training session, which is free of charge, will be available on FSU's Canvas platform.
Attorney General Moody launched the 100 Percent Club in 2022 to acknowledge companies that take proactive steps to train employees on identifying the signs of human trafficking. Through this initiative, nearly 10,000 individuals have been trained to recognize and report trafficking incidents.
Companies joining the 100 Percent Club must commit to providing comprehensive training to employees and issuing a quick-reference guide on reporting human trafficking. This commitment demonstrates their dedication to combating this grave issue.
To learn more about the 100 Percent Club and its mission, interested individuals can visit the official website. Additionally, individuals can visit YouCanStopHT.com to familiarize themselves with the signs of human trafficking and learn where to report suspicious activity.
The partnership between Attorney General Ashley Moody and Florida State University marks another significant step in the ongoing fight against human trafficking. By training the next generation of leaders at FSU, the initiative aims to create a more aware and vigilant society that can effectively combat this horrific crime.
