UGA Diversity & Inclusion Professional Certificate Program, Jun 7 – 28, Online
A Lack Of Inclusion Is A Quantifiable Risk, SO LEARN TO MANAGE IT!
Can your organization measure D&I, identify opportunities to improve, and implement them? The key to these skills is gaining an understanding of ISO-30415:2021 by earning a Diversity & Inclusion Professional Certificate from UGA Executive Education. This program is presented in partnership with Inclusion Score, the operating system for assessing D&I organizational risk. With training from established experts in this area, you’ll learn to minimize risk by creating inclusive business processes — from hiring practices to communications to supplier diversity. Upon completing the program, you’ll receive a certificate verifying your understanding of ISO-30415:2021 and certification by Inclusion Score.
Structure & Take-Aways
This asynchronous online program introduces the ISO-30415:2021 standard via the D&I Service Management (DISM) Lifecycle framework. The program features weekly live sessions with internationally recognized lecturers, Q&As to demonstrate the Inclusion Maturity Model Integration (IMMI) and uses cases across organizational governance, product delivery, human resources, and supply chain management.
