ExecOnline Partners with Darden Executive Education & Lifelong Learning
The University of Virginia Darden School Foundation has forged a new partnership with ExecOnline through Darden Executive Education & Lifelong Learning. The partnership will offer a collection of learning experiences that will focus on accelerating people of color in leadership, a first-of-its-kind collaboration between ExecOnline and Darden Executive Education.
We are honored to partner with Darden Executive Education to offer this life-changing learning experience for global leaders,” said ExecOnline Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Julia F. Alexander. “Leaders need to be actively involved in creating a culture of support for Black and minority communities to thrive in their career journeys. Through learned skills and enhanced perspectives on the importance of having diverse company leadership, leaders today can make a real difference in how Black and other minority professionals succeed on their own paths to leadership.”
Darden Executive Education courses are taught by Darden faculty members, educators routinely cited as the best in business education. Darden Executive Education has a long history in the diversity, equity and inclusion space through a range of programs, and recently celebrated 20 years of promoting the growth of leaders of color in the media and communications field.
The learning experiences through this partnership will officially launch in October and will cover important capabilities, including driving organizational allyship, increasing visibility and representation, and navigating emotional and mental gymnastics.
“We are eager to bring this experience to life and continue this important work with our partners at ExecOnline,” said Darden Executive Education & Lifelong Learning CEO and Chief Learning Officer Ashley Williams. “This learning experience will help organizations around the world create equal pathways for more Black and minority leaders.”
Participants who complete an experience will earn a noncredit certificate of completion from the University of Virginia Darden School Foundation. The offering will be available to individuals whose organizations subscribe to the ExecOnline Applied Experience Platform. Registration is open now.
