According to Variety, Ryan Reynolds just launched The Creative Ladder, a nonprofit organization aimed at supporting underrepresented communities! Ryan said:
“We started talking about The Creative Ladder right after we launched the Group Effort Initiative, so I am so thrilled the day is finally here, I love making ads and want to help make sure talent of all backgrounds have the access and information they need to succeed. Ads are just another form of storytelling and a more representative workforce will only make this industry stronger and enable it to tell better stories.”
The Creative Ladder will offer programs for students interested in the Creative field! Programs include: marketing, advertising, design and commercial production. The Creative Ladder will also provide leadership training, mentorship, networking opportunities and career development resources. The Creative Ladder will formally launch this Fall! Deloitte U.S. executive chair Janet Foutty says:
"As a founding donor of The Creative Ladder, Deloitte is thrilled to support their mission to strengthen the pipeline of racially and ethnically diverse professionals seeking careers in the creative field, and create more leadership pathways for the next generation of creative professionals, underrepresented communities haven’t had the same networking and career development opportunities as most creatives. Creating a more diverse pool of talent is a critical step in creating an equitable future across multiple creative segments.”
