Without credentials, you will not have the savvy needed to lead as a diversity professional or the credibility to persuade people to undergo organizational change. The diversity certification credentials you receive should be commensurate with the expertise you have acquired in the training program. The bottom line is you need the ability to competently fulfill the role and carry out the responsibilities, and that 0 1/3/24, 6: 10 PM Selecting a Diversity Certification Program Each credentialing program I have come across is unique. In addition, the responsibilities the diversity professional is expected to carry out vary from one organization to another —Check out diversity officer job listings to see for yourself (Cultural Diversity Officer Jobs), Therefore, the program you select for professional training must offer you both credentials and expertise. The best program based on what I have learned about top -tier diversity officer role and responsibilities prepares you to lead cultural diversity initiatives and roll up your sleeves to serve as a leader and trainer. I suggest looking for the following in a diversity professional • Organizational development and effectiveness strategies • Assessment and cultural audits Facilitation, training, and coaching skills Organizational leadership You are probably curious about the credentialing programs, so I have listed below what appears to be the most popular programs along with the features that distinguish them: Irl 2/7 1/3/24, 6:1Q PM Selecting a Diversity Certification Program FEATURESPROGRAM Strategy Assessment Project Leadership Credential Formats Management Programs Cornell X X X CCDP Classroom University Diversity X X X X CDP, CDT, Classroom Executive CDE, CDR, & Online Leadership GDP-M diversity Academy certificatio (aka DTUI) programs Georgetown X X X Classroom University Institute for X CDP, CDE Examinatic Diversity & Exam Certification Preparatio Society for Human Resource Management* University of Houston* *These organizations no longer offer a diversity certification program. i i E C � c P i +++ r•++� „a �i+„pff rprmanp�ipp rnm/rlivprcirv-nrnfpccinnaUriivPrGity-verification-oroaram-review/ 1/3/24, 6: 10 PM Selecting a Diversity Certification Program While diversity professional certificate programs have existed for more than 20 years, certification credentialing is relatively recent. When this article was first published, only two programs offered certification. The National Training Laboratory is more than 70 years old, but the diversity certification program no longer exists. Diversity Training University International is 20 years old (Now offering the certification through Diversity Executive Leadership Academy). There were also only two types of credentials offered (the Certified Diversity Professional and Certified Diversity Trainer) both of which were offered by Diversity Training University International. The program features for the organizations listed are based on descriptions of each program in brochures and on the organization's website. Cornell University's certification program emphasizes employment law and requires completing a set of required certificate program courses and successfully passing an examination. The seven required courses are held on the campus in upstate New York and range from one -day to three days. The cost is about $8400.00 total for tuition. NTL's program is the oldest and most expensive with base tuition of $14,000.00, Consistent with its more than fifty-year tradition, it is a group and individual process -oriented approach. Removing barriers to oppression is a central theme. Assessment and leadership skills are also taught. Classes are taught in different geographical locations within the United States. The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) program no longer exists. It was about $2000.00 and the emphasis is on training trainers. Classes are taught in Washington, DC and about 40 participants are in a class. The University of Houston program is offered once a year and costs $3000.00, The program emphasizes metrics and cultural audits, The Diversity Executive Leadership Academy (aka Diversity Training University International) program emphasizes strategy, leadership, facilitation, and assessment skills. This appears to be quite a challenge to pull off in two sessions. However, the organization boasts results of a benchmark provided in its corporate university's brochure indicating that participants find the program very rewarding, Ironically, no other program publicized participant evaluations. I think most people would prefer the classroom format. You learn with other participants and develop a network. The research says that people learn more from an online course because 4/7 1/3/24,6:10 PM Selecting a Diversity Certification Program assignments are submitted and graded. The personalized feedback is certainly a benefit. Online learning is cost effective. You avoid the additional costs for travel and accommodations for training out of your immediate area. Conclusion Finding a diversity professional training program is not difficult, but sorting through them can be challenging, It is not the intention of this article to endorse any one program, The goal is t offer readers what I have found to be the best choices among the most popular and credible programs so that their decision -making is a bit easier. In the end, it really depends on what yo want to do with the credentials. Some of you may want to become an expert cultural diversit recruiter while others may want to become the chief diversity officer with considerable authority. Balancing what you desire to do as a professional with what employers are looking for, along with training program costs, are what you need to take into consideration. In the fin decision, you will weigh program offering, cost, and reputation, Lars Lejonhuvud TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

Think about the ongoing war for talent, for example. With shrinking labor pools and changing demographics, it's only going to got harder for organizations to attract the talents that they need. Having a diverse and inclusive environment aLwQrk- is one way for your organization to stay on top of the market, especially when considering that 3 in 4 job seekers andem ployees yQes see diversity as an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers, Aside from being able to acquire the talent that your company needs, McKinsey research also points out that companies with higher workforce diversity tend to financially outperform less diverse competitors. To reap these benefits, organizations need qualified D&I professionals to help them advance their D&I initiatives and apply timely interventions.

We've got answers about Diversity & Inclusion certification programs! Here are three things that you need to know. What is a Diversity and Inclusion certification? D&I certification provides employees with the knowledge and skills related to workplace diversity, hiring and promotion practices, and building an inclusive team. By being D&I certified, you'll be able to demonstrate your expertise in this field to potential employers, thereby increasing your value on the job market and even boost your pay, What is the best Diversity and Inclusion certification? Which D&I certification is best depends entirely on your individual and professional development needs, career objectives, and budget. In other words, there is no one -size -fits -all solution to this. To decide which program is best suited for you, here are some factors you should take into account: 1 211/24,1:18 PM 8 Best Diversity & Inclusion Certifications of 2024 - AIHR Program duration and flexibility: As a working professional, you probably don't have too much time on your hands, and there's bound to be things that might pop up out of the blue. So pick the program that will best fit your schedule and one that you can complete in the near future. Program cost and what you (or your employer) are willing to pay: Getting D&I certified is all investment. Like any other investment, it'll work best when it's within the range of what you're willing to expense. Many companies have a Learning and Development budget and might also offer extra financial support for you. Which aspect Of D&I you want to focus on: It's impossible to learn everything, so choose one or a few topics that you think are relevant and interesting for you. Some programs will focus more on developing inclusive leadership skills, while others provide you with the foundational knowledge needed to carry out D&I interventions and innovation in a structured manner. Your seniority, experience, and current level of HR expertise: Some D&I initiatives, such as managing organizational culture transformation or fostering a diversity climate, might require a certain level of seniority to be carried out. Or it might be that a program would require you to have a few years of HR experience. Keep this in mind when choosing the program that you want to enroll in. How do you got D&I certified? To get D&I certified, you can choose one of the above mentioned programs or even something else outside of this list if you think that is what's best for you.
