Where Purpose Meets Potential

We make hiring differently simple — equipping businesses and overlooked talent to rise, together.

A job is more than a paycheck — it’s stability, dignity, and the chance to rebuild. But for many, the path to employment is blocked by bias, systems, or lack of access.

That’s where Rise comes in.

We partner with nonprofits, businesses, and community leaders to remove barriers and create direct pathways to meaningful work — for veterans, survivors, justice-involved individuals, and many others. Whether it’s a veteran transitioning to civilian life or a survivor reclaiming their future, we provide the structure, support, and employer partnerships that turn potential into progress — and jobs into transformation.

How It Works

  • Step 1: Connecting with Nonprofit Partners

    We collaborate with trusted nonprofits serving people ready for a fresh start — from recovery programs to job training centers. These partners help identify motivated candidates, and we step in to provide the opportunity.

  • Step 2: Preparing Candidates For Success

    Every candidate completes a readiness journey — including assessments, coaching, and training on workplace expectations, communication, and confidence-building. We don’t just prepare résumés — we prepare people.

  • Step 3: Matching Candidates with Employers

    We connect job-ready candidates with businesses ready to hire with purpose. From interview prep to onboarding, we walk with both sides to ensure lasting placements in retail, logistics, skilled trades, admin, and more.

  • Step 4: Ongoing Support For Long-Term Success

    Getting the job isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point. We offer retention coaching, check-ins, and mentorship so that both candidate and company thrive. We rise by staying in it together.
