Graduates who successfully complete its requirements will receive a Level 1 Certificate of Accreditation, issued by WJCEF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal in developing the course is to enable all members of the industry, at the mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail levels, from management through to sales staff, to obtain a practical understanding of CSR and sustainability, as it applies to the jewellery business today,\u201d explained Gaetano Cavalieri, the CIBJO and WJCEF President.\u00a0 \u201cTo an ever-increasing degree, a jewellery company is expected to ensure that its staff is CSR-educated and proficient. This course is designed to make that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students of the course will access each of the six lessons via a dedicated website, where subject-matter experts will instruct them on a range of key topics. Every lesson includes a video lecture, downloadable readings that at the end of the course can be compiled into a book on CSR, and links to other relevant readings and websites.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of each lesson a student will be given a test to gauge his or her understanding of key terms and concepts, and at the end of the course students will be required to submit an essay. A total assessment score of greater than 60 percent will be required before a student will be awarded the WJCEF Certificate of Recognition.<\/p>\n<p>The six lessons are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cPractical Definitions of CSR,\u201d presented by Professor Michael Segun, Director of CSR Studies at the University of Central Queensland, Australia.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMajor CSR Issues Affecting the Jewellery Industry,\u201d presented by Professor Benedict Sheehy, Professor of Law at the University of Canberra, Australia, and a widely published expert in corporate governance and CSR.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe Business Case for CSR,\u201d presented by Marcel Kreis, former Chairman and Managing Director, Private Banking, Credit Suisse Asia-Pacific, current Chairman of the Myer Family Company and CEO and Managing Director of Branded Trust Assurance Systems.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cTools and Approaches for Implementing CSR,\u201d presented by Mr. Miguel Popopa Guerrero, and environmental and sustainability engineer, recently with the Mexican Chamber of Industry and now with Branded Trust.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMaking \u2018Green\u2019 Claims and Consumer Protection Law,\u201d by Dr. Donald Feaver, former law professor and now the Chief Technology Officer of Branded Trust Assurance Systems, who is an expert in international and transnational regulatory systems.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cProfessional CSR Accreditation,\u201d presented by Ms. Maria Stradlund, a sustainability consultant from Stockholm, Sweden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Initially the six-lesson course is being offered only in English.
