Bloom Academy: Workplace Track
Bloom Academy is the best-in-class digital program for immersive diversity, equity, and inclusion learning experiences, taught by the team at Bloom with special guest facilitators. We have created context-specific learning experiences that help you navigate the nuanced, grey, and uncomfortable areas of your personal journey so you can show up for the folks you serve in a more inclusive and authentic way.
Are you a people leader who feels stuck with how to cultivate an anti-oppressive environment at work? The Bloom Academy Workplace Track was specifically designed to help you cut through the DEI noise and work against run-of-the-mill management advice. This learning experience was built for HR Managers, CEOs, People Leaders, and just about anyone who works remote or in-office who wants to create an inclusive workplace experience for everyone.
Sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 12:00 pm–2:00 pm ET starting September 12, 2023, for a total of 9 weeks.

If you need help making a case for this program, you can copy and paste the message below to send to your manager.
"Hello [Insert Managers Name],
A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is no longer a nice-to-have in the workplace—I believe it’s everyone's responsibility to model inclusion and demonstrate what the future of work looks like through our words, actions, and behaviours. As part of my learning goals for this year, I want to personally commit to learning more about DEI and how I can show up as the best version of myself at work.
The award-winning team at Bloom has created a best-in-class digital program for immersive diversity, equity, and inclusion learning experiences. Bloom Academy offers an eight-week course that will equip me with practical tools and resources to better champion DEI in our organization and to be a model to others. Their comprehensive curriculum covers foundational learnings around anti-oppression, anti-racism, and unconscious bias, as well as workplace-specific content like inclusive communication, bystander intervention, and hiring and recruitment through the lens of DEI.
Bloom Academy is unlike any other workplace DEI program and will help me grow further and faster. With your backing, I would like to use any budget or funding available for professional development to participate in this educational program.
Thank you,
[Insert your name]"

We created Bloom Academy with one goal in mind: to build better workplaces for everyone. We know that legacy ways of working were designed for a very narrow segment of the population and that oppressive systems have created barriers for folks from historically marginalized communities for far too long. Our mission? To empower everyone to make meaningful, sustainable organizational change that powers more diversity, prioritizes equitable workplace practices, and supports more inclusive methods of working with others.
Part of empowering everyone means making our curriculum financially accessible. We're proud to offer Bloom Academy at a generously reduced rate for the following folks.
Students and Early Career Pricing
We firmly believe that our people early in their careers are the future. Equipping students and young individuals who are just launching their careers with the tools and skills to challenge and dismantle oppressive systems is how we make sustainable change. This option is available to anyone currently enrolled in a post-secondary program as well as folks who are in the first 1–3 years of their career.
$599 CAD + tax or 4 installments of $149.75 CAD + tax
Not-for-Profit Pricing
Grassroots and not-for-profit organizations often do some of the most critical work on shoestring budgets. We want to help support the folks making a difference in our communities to embark on or further their DEI learning journeys.
$999 CAD + tax or 4 installments of $249.75 CAD + tax
Accountability Buddy Pricing
We often say at Bloom that "we go further together". If you're hoping to enlist the support of your manager, your report, or your work bestie, this option is for you.
$2999 CAD + tax for two registrations (must be currently employed at the same organization)
L&D Budget Matching
We understand that Learning & Development budgets only go so far and that in the current state of the economy, paying the difference out of pocket may not be feasible for everyone.
Bloom is happy to match your organization's professional development budget up to $1000 CAD.
