Made-in-Canada diversity and inclusion courses
Thousands of people have completed Canadian Diversity Initiative courses. Our online training is currently in-use by companies, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions across Canada, and our courses have been adapted for audiences in the United States and the EU/UK.
We have collaborative partnerships with highly respected Canadian organizations, and we work with diversity and inclusion experts who have deep knowledge of the subject-matter. Our online courses are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that content is accurate and the learning experience is user-friendly, engaging, and practical.
The mission of the Canadian Diversity Initiative is to foster diversity and inclusion through education. Whether you're looking for a course for yourself, or for your organization, we're here to help. So let's get started...

Easy to follow
As we began hiring staff quite quickly a few months back, I wanted to ensure that we as a company were remaining as impartial as possible when reviewing job applicants. This course made me question the way we do things and gave me actionable points that we could implement. It was also very easy to follow.

Highly recommended for small organizations
Canadian Diversity Initiative courses are comparable to longer, more expensive programs, are developed in community, and can be carried out at the learner’s convenience. Highly recommended for small orgs or frequently changing teams.

Challenged my own description of inclusion
This course challenged in my own description of inclusion and how best to create a comfortable, safe environment for teams. It was really valuable for me to look at the ways discrimination and harassment can be perceived and avoided to create a respectful inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe and business productivity can be maximized.
