Chippewa Valley RISE — Resources for Interview Success and Employment
Now taking shape

A new path to opportunity is coming to the Chippewa Valley.

Chippewa Valley RISE is being built to help people recognize their strengths, prepare for employment, grow their confidence, and connect with the people and resources that can move them forward.

Building confidence Creating opportunity Strengthening community

A local network for the moments before opportunity.

Before someone can step confidently into a new job, career change, interview, or professional connection, they need a place to prepare. Chippewa Valley RISE is being developed as that place: practical, welcoming, and connected to the community.
