Build the right skills to lead and foster diversity and inclusion in your organization.

The Key Issues

Leaders at all levels must be active and qualified advocates of diversity and inclusion (D&I) to ensure it’s part of the organization’s culture and business strategy. This unique 3-day certificate programme goes beyond standard D&I courses, and helps you develop skills to become a champion of diversity and a leader of inclusive teams. You’ll learn to recognize the uniqueness and multidimensional aspects of individual identity, understand biases on a deeper level, and explore behaviors that promote trust.
