Course Background

The landscape for LGBTQ+ inclusion is changing every day.  In the US, an estimated 1.4 million adults identify as transgender.

A study put out last year by the Williams Institute discovered that 27% of youth in California are identified as transgender or gender nonconforming.

When thinking about younger generations, we know that in the year 2025, millennials will represent 75% of the workforce. And millennials are more than 2xs as likely to identify as LGBTQ and more likely to identify as non-binary or genderfluid than previous generations.

For employers, it is no longer a matter of what to do if they have transgender employees, but a matter of preparing for when they have transgender employees.

Course Objective
