ValuAble

International certification of hospitality establishments that are socially responsible in the employment of people with intellectual disabilities

ValuAble is a network of companies and European associations and foundations related to Down syndrome that provides international certification to hospitality establishments that are socially responsible in the professional inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

Additionally, ValuAble has developed different tools to facilitate the integration of these individuals into their work environment. Firstly, the application “On my own at work,” which is individually adapted to each worker and helps them develop their job. Secondly, videos aimed at both employers and workers that show examples of how the correct relationships between people with intellectual disabilities and their coworkers should be.

Finally, a set of training tools aimed at the establishment managers to facilitate obtaining the certification.
