Diversifying the nutrition and dietetics workforce requires commitment across multiple levels. This includes academic programs, institutions, and the professional community who are positioned to make a direct impact on the future workforce. In many cases, these efforts may also require skill development and financial support. In this lecture session, we will discuss data-driven models and strategies that can be used to enhance recruitment, retention, skill and professional development, and support of diverse individuals in undergraduate and graduate programs and work settings. Speakers will also examine how robust student and personnel support services translate to diversifying the nutrition and dietetics workforce.
