Many people admit to feeling anxious about navigating the subject of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion or DEI. That’s because it’s a highly emotive topic and there can be a feeling of embarrassment or shame when people get it wrong.
This course is delivered in the right environment and tone to enable learners to start wherever they are starting from and to progress their knowledge and understanding without feeling judged.
It covers foundational concepts of DEI, provides wrap-around historical and social contexts of inequality, explains the role of the law and its relevance in different regions, and zones in on the role of individuals in turning negative conduct into positive lasting habits!
Throughout the course, learners will be guided and supported by a DEI specialist to feel confident about receiving the right signposting whenever they feel stuck.
Learners can engage and interact with their cohort through a Community Box, which makes Titese online courses a shared learning experience rather than an individual journey (but with the flexibility of online courses). This makes DEI learning more fun and meaningful!
By completing the course, learners will boost their awareness and confidence of how inequality can impact anyone and how everyone has a role to play in eliminating unwanted and unfair conduct from the workplace to develop more inclusive cultures.
