About Diversity Science’s Change Agent Training Program

Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) professionals need support, tools and space to expand their skills and achieve their goals. We carefully developed our change agent training program to empower DEI professionals to enact positive change and bring evidence-based interventions to their organizations.

Training that Fits You and Your Organization’s Needs

Individuals benefit most from training when the concepts, knowledge, skills, examples, activities are clearly relevant to organizational characteristics, strengths, challenges and goals. Our evidence-based course development process is designed to continually adapt to the needs of each participant using skills assessments and reflection exercises.

  • Training is based on current scientific evidence and delivered by PhD level experts
  • Course incorporates a learning (versus “performance”) and growth (versus “fixed) orientation
  • Pre-assessment guides program tailoring and is used a teaching tool, allowing participants to learn how to conduct and use their own pre-assessments
  • Learning tools include readings, lectures, case application, role-playing and reflection exercises

Learning Objectives for This Program

Objective 1: Participants will have the latest scientific understanding of factors that affect the diversity climate, and the way they operate – as well as resources for maintaining up-to-date knowledge. Implicit bias is one crucial factor, but it is greatly affected by explicit biases, human motives, and context, among other factors.

Objective 2: Participants will anticipate, understand, and be able to work constructively with the broad range of backgrounds, motivations, beliefs, and views that employees will bring to the training sessions.

Objective 3: Participants will have the specific skills needed to facilitate and manage the challenges related to conversations about diversity.
