The Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) Credential

An Equity and Inclusion Masterclass

Stand Out From The Crowd

80% of employers believe university graduates are NOT prepared for a diverse, global workplace.*

Soft skills (defined as “personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people”) are often left out of the typical academic degree program as well as organizational training programs.

For anyone seeking a head start or a career refresh, acquiring soft skills can be the difference that helps you stand out in today’s overcrowded job market.

Introducing the “CQ Credential – An Equity and Inclusion Masterclass“ – An online masterclass that leverages the research-based CQ framework to help students and early-career professionals overcome challenges and showcase their soft skills with a shareable, digital-certificate they can place on their social media accounts and resumes.

Employers know that individuals with high levels of CQ are better able to adapt in diverse environments, have improved communication skills, and work effectively with others to innovate and create new ideas and solutions.
