Microsoft Reactor

Microsoft's mission is deeply inclusive: to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We expect each of us—no matter what our level, role or function is—to play an active role in creating environments where people of a diverse range of backgrounds are excited to bring all of who they are and do their best work.

One way we're staying committed to learning more about diversity and inclusion is through MS Learn: an easy and accessible way to learn about products, technology, and services through interactive e-learning. Upon completion of modules and learning paths, individuals receive badges and trophies for LinkedIn, or apply to be professionally certified - currently free until Dec 31, 2020). 🏆🥇

⚡ Join us on a casual and lighthearted weekly series to be certified as a diversity and inclusion practitioner in your personal and professional lives – we'll walk through the MSLearn modules on accessibility, inclusion, and design-thinking, and earn badges together as a group over lunch 🌈
