The Step Up Equity Accelerator is a 5-part, synchronized blended-learning diversity, equity, and inclusion skill-building program.

This team development learning experience will equip you to accurately assess where people are in their journey, effectively help others make progress in practicing equity, and authentically share the journey.
In addition, the Accelerator teaches practical skills, model behaviors and strategies that you can deploy within your organization, and assess your team's capabilities to implement DEI initiatives.To establish a shared understanding of team strengths and areas for growth, the Accelerator includes several self-assessments compiled into a comprehensive team profile.
