Our Approach: Practical Solutions for Real-World Issues
1. Job Placement Focus
- Skill Development: Our workshops address key areas like eye contact, professional attire, and appropriate language use.
- Realistic Expectations: We educate students on market standards and negotiation techniques to align their expectations with industry norms.
- Building Independence: We design activities to encourage self-reliance and help students overcome social anxieties, ensuring they can navigate interviews and job situations with confidence.
2. Professional Development
- Hands-on Training: We offer practical training beyond basic leadership skills.
- Ongoing Guidance: We support students throughout their job search to ensure that, as they progress, they remain prepared and confident.
3. Community Collaboration
- Business Partnerships: We build strong ties with local businesses, creating opportunities for mentorship and development while enhancing community connections.
- Alternative Options: If needed, we find other job opportunities to fit each student.
How It Works
Step 1: Online Skill Assessment
Students start with an online skill assessment to evaluate their skills, interests, and career goals. This assessment determines whether they begin with Level One or Level Two workshops, ensuring personalized support tailored to their needs.
Step 2: Complete Workshops
Based on their assessment, students complete workshops focused on key skills like leadership, communication, résumé building, and interview techniques. Successful completion earns them an endorsement from Rise Business Partners, which they can proudly include on their résumé.
Step 3: Job Matching (For North Georgia Residents)
Students local to North Georgia are entered into our job matching pool, where they are connected with local businesses seeking qualified candidates. Placement opportunities are based on their skills, experience, and workshop performance.
Step 4: Placement and Ongoing Support
We continue supporting both students and employers to ensure a smooth transition and sustained growth. Although we strive to find placements for all students, we remain committed to exploring alternative options if necessary.
