Our Vision

A world where everyone has access to meaningful employment opportunities, regardless of their background or barriers.

Our Story: Building a Brighter Future for the Workforce

 

RiseKit was founded on the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential in the workforce. We recognized that the traditional system often left talent, community organizations, and employers frustrated and disconnected.

We saw a future where:

  • Employers could easily access a diverse pool of talented individuals, ready to contribute their skills and passion, by partnering with local community-based organizations.
  • Government-funded programs could effectively demonstrate their impact, and achieve their workforce development goals.
  • Job seekers from all backgrounds could discover quality employment opportunities that pay a livable wage and access the wrap-around support and resources they need to thrive.

To make this vision a reality, we created RiseKit - a software platform that empowers the entire workforce ecosystem through collaboration and data-driven insights.

RiseKit leverages technology to:

  • Connect: Bringing together employers, community organizations, training providers, and underrepresented talent in a unified space.
  • Streamline: Simplifying processes and eliminating barriers to opportunity access, giving everyone equal opportunity to succeed.
  • Empower: Providing individuals and organizations with the tools, resources, and support they need to achieve their goals.
