About Diversity Equity and Inclusion

75% of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension and the culture sector now accounts for 6.1% of the global economy. The United Nations reports that creative and cultural industries (CCI) generate annual revenues of US$ 2,250 billion and nearly 30 million jobs worldwide, employing more people aged 15 to 29 than any other sector. To improve diversity, achieve equity, and foster inclusion one must be intentional, consistent, and courageous.


LERN’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Workplace Certificate focuses on improving cultural competence and encourages continuous learning. Students will gain a better understanding of DEI.

    DEI in the Workplace II: Inclusive Communication

    Respectable communication in the workplace encourages a cohesive collaborative environment, prevents inefficiencies, and ensures the right information gets to the right person at the right time. This unit will explore how communication differs across cultures. In addition, students will come to understand how communication can impact relationships with others in both positive and negative ways.
