Minneapolis, United States Twin Cities R!SE Full time
ABOUT TWIN CITIES RSE:

Twin Cities RSE is a nonprofit 501(c)3 whose mission is to transform the lives of those impacted by racial or socio-economic barriers through Personal Empowerment, career training, and meaningful employment. Our vision is a community where all individuals, especially people of color, have attained financial independence through employment success.

Our 8-week career training programs provide participants with the skills needed to be successful on any job. Our training focuses on individual development, Personal Empowerment, Career Training, and the 21st Century Skills that today's employers are looking for. Graduates of this program typically double or triple their annual income. Our career coaches help participants develop a career plan while providing them with the resources and placement connections needed to achieve their goals.

Employers hire TCR graduates because they value that TCR graduates apply their Personal Empowerment skills leading to accountability, responsibility, conflict resolution, positive interaction, attendance and long-term change. They also know TCR graduates receive continued coaching services through the end of the first year of employment and that over 70% of TCR graduates stay at their job 1+ years, well above the general average.

Our Personal Empowerment Training curriculum that provides transformative Emotional Intelligence Training has been designed by The Empowerment Institute at Twin Cities RSE. Not only do our TCR program participants benefit from this training, The Empowerment Institute partners with businesses, schools, universities, and nonprofits to help them create their own empowered cultures within these organizations.
