CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Advanced DEI learning, built for people already doing the work.
Most programs start at the beginning. These don't. Our certificate programs are designed for practitioners, leaders, and champions who want to go deeper, strengthen their practice, and build skills they can apply right away.

2026 Certificate Programs:
Measuring IDEA: From Data to Decisions
The IDEA Measurement Certificate helps practitioners move beyond good intentions to credible evidence. Participants learn how to measure inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in ways that reflect real experience, inform decisions, and demonstrate impact. The focus is on practical frameworks and indicators that support accountability, not performative metrics. For a practical example of measurement in action, download our free ERG guide.

Practicing Gender Inclusion
Practical, real-world competence in engaging gender-diverse people with respect and confidence. Moving beyond definitions and terminology, this program explores how gender shows up in everyday interactions, systems, and decisions, and what inclusive practice actually looks like in those moments. Through facilitated learning, applied examples, and case-based discussion, participants strengthen their ability to navigate gender-related situations thoughtfully, reduce harm, and contribute to environments where gender-diverse people can participate fully and safely. You can also join a free Community Call to think through real IDEA challenges with peers.
