“Fundamentals of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)” is an insightful, short-form course designed for beginners interested in starting their DEIB journey in the workplace. As we navigate through increasingly diverse social and professional landscapes, understanding DEIB is no longer optional–it is imperative. This course aims to equip participants with the necessary tools and insights to effectively advocate for DEIB initiatives in professional settings. The course begins by asking participants to craft their own personal DEIB statements, then provides a comprehensive explanation of key DEIB concepts. Later in the course, participants will brainstorm possible DEIB initiatives that can be used in their organizations. Lastly, participants will end the course by revisiting and revising their personal DEIB statement with the hope that they will be empowered to champion DEIB work within their workplaces.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
