What is the Modern Engineering Diversity Programs course about?
Traditional DEI initiatives often fail in distributed engineering environments because they’re not built for technical workflows or asynchronous collaboration. Leaders are left with programs that look good on paper but don’t impact day-to-day team dynamics, hiring equity, or innovation velocity.
