What is the Scalable Engineering Diversity Programs course about?
Mid-market tech teams often launch diversity efforts with strong intent but lack the scalable frameworks to sustain momentum. Programs become dependent on goodwill rather than integrated into hiring, promotion, and product delivery systems. Without operational alignment, progress is inconsistent and hard to measure, limiting impact and leadership credibility.
