RISE Career Launch programs prepare first-generation and early-career professionals to be engaged, productive, and committed leaders in the workplace.


Our Mission

Our mission is to build the pipeline of tomorrow’s business leaders by giving newly minted graduates the tools and strategies to launch and accelerate their careers.


Many early-career professionals enter the workplace without clear insight into expectations, norms, and pathways to success. We make a difference.

We prepare RISE fellows to navigate and excel in professional environments. Our program builds the functional, interpersonal, and technical skills required to establish early momentum and achieve long-term performance.
