The Future of Work Requires DEI

Karen Ledford • Aug 15, 2023

Are you ready to lead the future of work?


The future of work is changing rapidly. Technology is transforming industries, and new jobs are created all the time.


But one thing is certain: the future of work will be more diverse and inclusive than ever before.


In the tech industry, wind industry, and other newer professions, we need people from all backgrounds and experiences to help us imagine and create the future. We need people who can think differently, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively. We need people who are passionate about making a difference.


That's why diversity and inclusion (D&I) is so important. When we have a diverse workforce, we're better able to innovate, solve problems, and make better decisions. We're more creative, more resilient, and more adaptable to change.


Are you a current or aspiring leader?


The Institute for Diversity Certification (IDC)® offers two credentialing programs to help you gain the knowledge, skills and abilities required to lead the next generation of work.


The Certified Diversity Professional (CDP)® and the Certified Diversity Executive (CDE)® credentials are in demand, and they play a critical role in creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace.


CDP® and CDE® certification can help you gain the D&I skills to lead your organization into the future. And when you create supportive spaces for your employees and coworkers, that inclusivity extends to your customers and the marketplace.


Ready to take your DEI knowledge to the next level?


The IDC® designed its credentialing programs are designed to help you create a more equitable organization. You'll learn to:

  • Understand the core principles of DEI
  • Identify and address unconscious bias
  • Create and implement DEI initiatives
  • Advocate for underrepresented groups
  • Build relationships with people from all backgrounds


We believe the future is bright, and we're excited to see what we can accomplish together.
