Become better prepared for an increasingly diverse world
We are being tasked with managing a more diverse work environment. The Online Graduate Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion prepares students to become proactive ensuring that they understand the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as a way to become more employable and to continue their professional development.
