Build your foundational knowledge of intersectionality - the groundbreaking way of delivering equity, diversity and inclusion across all aspects of society. Get equipped to be an agent of change - and lead your organisation into a new future. Dive into real-world scenarios to learn practical skills and contemporary theory, then apply them in your workplace to increase diversity and inclusion.
Apply your intersectional knowledge and enhance your critical career skills in communication, identity, inclusion, leadership, and research and evaluation design. You can also establish life-long learning practices such as high level analytical and problems solving skills including critical reflection.
Explore how workplace experiences can differ because of the intersections of diverse individual identities. Experience firsthand through an immersive activity how applying an intersectional lens will help you create inclusive workplaces. View the world from another perspective and consider how you can enable people to contribute their core qualities and talents.
The Graduate Certificate in Intersectionality, Diversity and Inclusion is an ideal qualification for every professional - from any industry - wanting to build on their previous studies or work experience to enhance their workplace's diversity and inclusiveness.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
