Connecting Employers with New Pools of Quality Talent
Now in its sixth programmatic year as of July 2020, LA:RISE is recruiting companies to join our Employer Partnership Program. We seek companies that primarily need skilled entry-level talent and are open to hiring and supporting employees who have overcome challenges, such as opportunity youth and individuals who have been previously homeless or incarcerated. LA:RISE offers employers direct access to a local pool of well-trained and highly motivated candidates who are prepared for work—along with resources that help employees not only retain their jobs, but advance and thrive long term.

We take pride in going out into our communities and working with partners to find talented and qualified individuals.”
