Old National Bank’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Old National Bank’s first step to create a more inclusive culture for people with disabilities started with the establishment of a mentorship program, Achieve Ability, launched in 2014, which pairs aspiring professionals with disabilities with executive leaders at ONB for a 10 month relationship.
Achieve Ability has had a total of 57 mentees participate from within our five-state footprint; seven who have been hired, and six who have received internships at ONB. Of the other mentees, several are still in school, while approximately 28 have secured full-time employment at other employers.
Best of all, our leaders have learned firsthand the challenges and opportunities that individuals with a variety of abilities face each day. These relationships, these learning lessons have allowed us to build our culture of understanding and become more intentionally inclusive.
Why do we mentor? Because we live, we learn and become better versions of ourselves. One company, one person, one relationship at the time. Together, we can make an impact.
