This is a self-paced online course with three modules. Training takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Participants will need a broadband internet connection (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred browers) and computer speakers.

This course will provide an introduction to mentorship, best practices and expectations of mentees and mentors, and organizational strategies for implementing a successful mentorship program to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. In this course, mentorship is presented as an effective strategy to advance DEI among individuals, groups, and organizations, especially those in governmental public health agencies. There are no prerequisites.

The course contains three modules: the content module, a resources module, and an evaluation. After finishing all three modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion. When the certificate is available, learners will see a Certificate button on their dashboard.
