A local idea grew into a statewide vision.
Wisconsin RISE helps people recognize their value, prepare with purpose, and connect with opportunity through practical, community-shaped support.
Strengthening workforce readiness across Wisconsin.
The mission of Wisconsin RISE is to strengthen workforce readiness across Wisconsin by providing accessible career assessments, practical skill-building opportunities, personalized preparation, professional connections, and community-based support.
We help individuals recognize their value, communicate their experience with confidence, and take informed steps toward meaningful employment and long-term career growth.
A focused purpose became a broader network.
Fox Cities RISE—Resources for Interview Success & Employment—began by helping individuals become more confident and prepared for job interviews.
As the organization developed its career assessment, participant portal, workshops, educational resources, and partner network, a broader need became clear. People may also need help identifying strengths, exploring paths, creating a résumé, building a professional presence, using technology, practicing communication, or connecting with trusted local resources.
The challenges RISE was created to address exist in communities throughout Wisconsin.
