75% of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension and the culture sector now
accounts for 6.1% of the global economy. The United Nations reports that creative and cultural
industries (CCI) generate annual revenues of US$ 2,250 billion and nearly 30 million jobs
worldwide, employing more people aged 15 to 29 than any other sector. To improve diversity,
achieve equity, and foster inclusion one must be intentional, consistent, and courageous.
LERN’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Workplace Certificate focuses on improving
cultural competence and encourages continuous learning. Students will gain a better
understanding of DEI.
