Welcome to the Workplace Diversity Awareness professional development course. With the world becoming more mobile and integrated, diversity has taken on a new importance in the workplace. This course will help students understand what diversity is, its importance and how they can help create, contribute to, promote and embrace diversity in their work and personal lives.
Diversity is the inclusion of a wide variety of people of different races, cultures, orientations and physical abilities in a group or organization. It is vital that every professional (employer, employee or independent) have an understanding of the concept of workplace diversity in order to achieve and maintain a more bias-free workplace environment.
This is a self-pacing, 4-hour, 12-Module, 10-Lesson course complete with audio with text lessons and instructor-host videos. There is a BONUS downloadable e-textbook as well as PDF worksheets and handouts for use during the course and future reference. Each lesson module has a multi-question quiz to test your learning of the content covered.
There is no set time requirement to complete the course, so you may work at your own pace, logging off to take breaks then logging back on to progress to completion at your convenience. Be certain to take advantage of any discounted subject related courses to fully explore your learning options on our Proper Advantage Professional Development Online Training platform.
