Diversity and Inclusion: IDEA Fundamentals Certification
The Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Council (DLC), in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI), is excited to announce the return of the IDEA Fundamentals Certification.
This program acts as an information session to ensure that everyone is on the same page about the topic of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA).
By leveraging the experience of participants through discussions and group activities, participants explore their own dimensions of diversity and the benefits of creating an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible (IDEA) workplace.
There are three separate sessions held over three days.
You will need to attend all three sessions of this training in order to receive the CCDI Foundation Certificate.
SESSION 1 – November 14
Diversity and Inclusion Fundamentals
This session provides participants with a robust, shared understanding of what we talk about when we refer to diversity and inclusion, and why diversity and inclusion are keys to the success of organizations as well as individuals.
SESSION 2 – November 15
Introduction to Unconscious Bias
This session tackles one of the most pervasive barriers to inclusion in the workplace: conscious and unconscious bias. We explore the sources and mechanics of bias, its impact and cyclicality. We then provide participants with strategies to increase awareness and mitigate the impact of bias in the workplace.
SESSION 3 – November 16
Respect in the Workplace
The aim of this session is to offer guidelines to establish respectful workplaces. We build a shared knowledge on how to identify what respect looks like in the workplace, and how to address manifestations of disrespect.
