Whether you are a RISE graduate or a community member seeking a second chance, this is your space to connect, grow, and get hired.
Empowering Your Path to Employment
At RISE, we believe that a past doesn't define a future. Our Career Resource Fair is more than just a job fair—it’s a room full of "Withness." We are bringing together second-chance employers, community partners, and career experts who value your grit and your potential.
This event is open to any system-impacted individual in the community. You do not need to be a RISE graduate to attend. If you have been affected by the justice system and are ready to work, we want to see you there.
