Barrier Assessment:
Trauma, incarceration, abuse, addiction and homelessness are barriers that could keep Leaders from obtaining employment. An initial assessment creates a holistic, individualized path forward with the help of a social worker.

Training Camp:
A five-week Training Camp equips Leaders with core workplace competencies such as time management, communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, professionalism and digital literacy.
Short-Term Certification:
After successful completion of Training Camp, Leaders earn a short-term certification in one of a dozen career tracks.
Career Placement:
UpRise helps each Leader to be placed in a career with upward mobility.
Program Successes
Meet an UpRise Leader Story:
Determined and resilient, Denae is a single mother with four children. She came to UpRise to find a better paying job where she could support her family and move into housing of her own. Denae felt stuck without any type of post-secondary education in a job that paid $15 an hour with no upward mobility. She began UpRise Training Camp in February 2023, where she thrived in community and in demonstrating our workplace competencies of time management and professionalism. She completed UpRise's Clinical Medical Assistant Training, and thrived in her studies earning the Dean's List Distinction. Denae is now employed as a Medical Assistant at Vanderbilt Dermatology where she loves her job.

The voices of families in our program are joyfully welcomed and incorporated on our Advisory Board and by Alumni returning to Training Camp as volunteers or to share their career experiences with other aspiring Leaders. We conduct Leader surveys at two different points during the program to assess, and are regularly in touch with our referral partners to ensure that we are tailoring our program to meet the specific needs and context of the community we serve.
