A Project Shema antisemitism course is now widely available through LinkedIn Learning, with the potential to reach millions of users.
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / Project Shema has launched an online antisemitism course available via LinkedIn Learning, one of the world's foremost and largest workforce development platforms. This marks the first time that any of Project Shema's content will be available online for employers and employees alike around the world (with closed captioning in 25 languages). The online learning course, available exclusively through LinkedIn Learning, will provide organizations with a holistic understanding of the Jewish people, Jewish history, and the bigotry that has long targeted the Jewish community. Furthermore, it provides practical tips for how employees and employers can create more inclusive environments.
"As someone who has led DEI for some of the world's largest companies, I didn't adequately fold antisemitism education or Jewish cultural employee resource and affinity groups into my own DEI practice until 2021," said April Powers, Vice President, DEI at Project Shema. "I know firsthand that DEI professionals can't be experts in everything. I'm excited to see many leaders leaning into a deeper understanding of anti-Jewish harm and Jewish identity."
The hour-long course is available completely free for all LinkedIn users through January 31, 2025. After this time, LinkedIn Premium learners will have access to the course through LinkedIn Learning.
"We're excited to provide educational content through LinkedIn Learning, which is second to none in supporting professional development," said Oren Jacobson, Co-Founder and CEO at Project Shema. "It's hard to overstate our excitement that our content can now easily reach millions worldwide with just a few clicks."
The course joins an array of critical educational offerings, including a similar course to combat islamophobia, support Muslim colleagues, and foster inclusion.
The full course, entitled Understanding and Supporting Jewish Colleagues at Work, can be accessed on LinkedIn Learning here: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/understanding-and-supporting-jewish-colleagues-at-work/introduction
