Question 8 of 30

Have you ever attended formal diversity and inclusion training?

"Although my former employers have not offered formal diversity and inclusion training, I did take the initiative to attend a self-paced e-course from Microsoft on Unconcious Bias. This course was geared for managers and employees and provided a helpful overview of how diversity impacts employee productivity, happiness, and overall business success. Through this coursework, I deepened my understanding of unconscious biases, how they influence my behavior, and impact others. I learned a few action steps that I could take to eliminate bias in my work environment. I highly recommend this coursework, and I am eager to put my new knowledge into action."

      How to Answer

      There are many available programs, courses, and workshops dedicated to diversity and inclusion. Many of these programs are in-house, some are offered by post-secondary educational entities, some through professional coaches, and others offered online. Udemy, Coursera, edX, and even Microsoft provide highly valuable D&I training options.

      If you have never attended diversity and inclusion training, take the initiative to do so on your own time. This addition to your knowledge base will be valuable as you search for new employment. If you have formal D&I training, give the interviewer an outline of the program you attended. Discuss what you learned, and highlight how this training will benefit the company, should they choose to hire you.
