ONGOING PROGRAMS
- USF DEI in the Workplace Certificate Program. In December, the ACC NCR Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee shared information about the University of South Florida Muma College of Business "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Workplace Certificate Program." The goal of the certificate program is to help companies become more inclusive by imparting knowledge and developing tools to perform organizational self-assessment and plans for inclusive change. The program consists of seven, two-hour modules. All content is pre-recorded, available free of charge to anyone. In addition, USF offers a DEI in the Workplace Certificate for those who complete program (seven modules and quizzes) with a passing grade by December 31, 2022, and pay a $99 fee. For more information, click here.
