RISE, which stands for Reintegrating Individuals Successfully Every Day, is a job-readiness training program designed to empower individuals who have multiple barriers to obtaining gainful employment. The program gives clients the knowledge they need to reintegrate into the workforce.

RISE covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to, soft skills, financial literacy, digital literacy, communication skills, resume development and mock interviewing 

Upon completion of the program, clients receive certificates marking their achievements and have the opportunity to earn Work Ready Certification and receive assistance with finding a suitable job. Having been given these opportunities, participants can embark on their next steps to employment and eventually a career path that leads them out of poverty. 

RISE Classes are held the second full week of each month and run 10 a.m. ET/9 a.m. CT to 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT.
