Diversity Equity and Inclusion Certificate Program

Statistics on diversity in the workplace show that most organizations need to consider greater inclusivity to create a more diverse workforce. Executives know that a diverse workforce - including differing races, religions, ages, genders and sexual orientations, person with disabilities and more - provides greater depth in perspective and viewpoints for the organization. This online certificate program will emphasize essential business practices and initiatives designed to increase diversity among employees at all levels. It’s time to make meaningful strides towards building an organizational culture that enables all employees to bring their whole selves to work and to build a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard and supported. Our interactive, discussion-based program will teach participants how to identify skills and strategies to become more aware and inclusive, so that they may have a greater impact on the overall vision and day-to-day operations of their workplace.
