London, December 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Celebrating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), the Valuable 500 today announced the achievement of its goal, securing 75 mentees and mentors to become the first cohort of the innovative leadership “Generation Valuable” program from companies on every continent. This follows the launch of the World Economic Forum’s search for tomorrow’s leaders in May this year.
Research shows that marginalized talent often face systemic barriers to advancement, resulting in a shockingly low number of people with disabilities in leadership positions—especially at the executive level and top management. Generation Valuable seeks to address the disability talent gap by creating opportunities for one emerging leader from each member company to receive training from some of the world’s leading experts in disability inclusion and leadership development, as well as an in-house executive mentor .
