Digitalife launches managing diversity course

Bradford-based Digitalife has launched a new, modular training course aimed at professionals who are working to create profitable and inclusive working environments.

"Age, gender, cultural background, religion, ethnicity and race are just some of the differences between individuals that lead to diversity in the workplace. Managing this diversity to the benefit of both the company and the employee is a challenge facing all managers and organisations today," said Digitalife’s Gweneth Balson,

The BTEC Professional in Managing Diversity in the Workplace, offered at level 4 on the QCA framework, is available in a modular format and designed to be undertaken at the candidate’s convenience. Digitalife said the Professional Award requires 60 hours of study, while the Professional Certificate takes 120 hours, which leads to the Professional Diploma that demands 360 hours of study.

Margaret Coleman, Regional Director, Learning and Skills Council, Yorkshire and the Humber Region said: "In today's global economy it is essential that managers understand the value of having a diverse workforce and more importantly that they are equipped with the skills to manage a diverse group of employees effectively. Programmes like the Managing Diversity Diploma contribute to developing that understanding and the skills of the workforce."
