Hiring for Decolonization, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Creative Industries Micro-Credential

In this micro-credential participants will learn how to create decolonizing, diverse, and inclusive processes to hire Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour job candidates in the creative industries. Participants will be able to use human rights laws to justify their hiring programs, build relationships with communities to tap into existing pipelines, write a position description that speaks to diverse candidates, create qualification standards that account for systemic exclusion, and set up structures for achieving critical mass. This course will have readings, exercises, and applications organized into four modules.

• Module 1: Human Rights Laws and Hiring for Decolonization, Diversity, and Inclusion
• Module 2: Where are the Indigenous, Black, and POC Creatives? Not where you are.
