Program details
Overview
The Equity, Workplace, and Community Transformation Certificate is an interdisciplinary program covering equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, reconciliation, accessibility, and social justice. Coursework addresses Indigenous perspectives and decolonizing practices, trauma-informed approaches, and strategies for teaching, facilitating, and leading diverse groups, and builds skills in program design, community engagement, facilitation, and organizational change. The certificate consists of 21 credits: five required core courses (15 credits) and two elective courses (6 credits), normally completed over 18 months of part-time study, with the majority of courses offered online. It is intended for educators, managers, public servants, community leaders, and students preparing for careers that involve equity-focused leadership, and graduates are positioned for roles in equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives, workplace training, community engagement, program development, facilitation, and organizational culture work. The program is eligible for financial aid.
