ECQA Certified Diversity Manager

Description

Diversity Manager has become a new profession and additional qualification for Human Resource and General managers only recently. Vocational training for diversity managers is characterized by heterogeneous curricula and limited to a few courses and master´s degrees offered by specialized training organizations, NPOs and universities.

As for other new job roles relevant for the European Union (EU), such as Applied Sustainability Manager or (Corporate) Social Responsibility Manager, there is a clear and urgent need for a harmonized European approach to the description and definition of the skills and competences of diversity managers, in particular in the context of the strict anti-discrimination and equal treatment legislation of the EU.

Skills and Competence Profile

The Job Role Committee (JRC) for the ECQA Certified Diversity Manager developed a skills card and competence profile - freely available as pdf download at the website www.fedm.eu and on request by e-mail to info@fedm.eu

Target Group

Following the success story of the European Computer Driving License (ECDL), this certification will function as “European Diversity Manager´s Driving License”. This will pave the way for a future “European Diversity Driving License” for a much larger target group, i.e. for all European citizens of all ages, who want to get fit for living together in our multi-cultural European societies in a most fruitful and peaceful way. The joint markets and economies shall benefit from the innovative potential of our diverse work force in the EU.

The new Job Role "ECQA Certified Diversity Manager" will guarantee sustainability, cross-fertilization and comparability with other ECQA certificates, such as ECQA Certified Applied Sustainability and CSR Professional and ECQA Certified Innovation Manager.
