Developing management skills on DEI/EDI themes to Finnish working life
The European EDIFY-EDU project addresses the skills gap of Management education with regards to competencies on equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). The aim is to develop skills of management students and managers in medium-sized companies so that they can respond to the societal transformation.
The first phase of the EDIFY-EDU training program is an online MOOC course in autumn 2024. Target group for the MOOC are managers, management students, entrepreneurs, and HR managers.
In the second phase of the program, more country-specific and customizable Specialization Course will be implemented in early 2025. This course is targeted especially to management students, and it will consist of smaller learning modules.
Designing the training program with key stakeholders
TIEKE and Aalto University/CKIR saw that the Specialization Course would serve the Finnish working life best, if we would develop it with the key stakeholders.
So, we invited these stakeholders to participate in a workshop to design the modular training together. The aim was to get a basic idea of the 20 modules of the course and choose the most important ones for Finland´s point of view.
The workshop was a success! It was once again great to see how collaboration and combining perspectives lead to new insights and the creation of diverse connections. We thank all participants for active contribution and sharing of expertise!
Save the date: AamuAreena 14.6. at 8:30
We will tell you more about the training, its contents, and enrolment at TIEKE’s AamuAreena in June. Make a reservation to your calendar for Friday 14.6. at 8:30-9:30.
EDIFY-EDU project in an nutshell
The EDIFY-EDU project will implement a training programme to develop the leadership skills needed in a changing society, especially in terms of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The curriculum is based on international frameworks (LifeComp, EntreComp and DigComp) as well as on the surveys conducted in the project. The surveys conducted in Ireland, Italy, Greece, Germany, and Finland produced new knowledge and understanding of the EDI (equality, diversity, inclusion) themes in management education and the labour market.
Project partners
In EDIFY-EDU project there are 12 research and project organisations from Ireland, Italy, Austria, Greece, Germany and Finland.
