HOUSTON, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Core Group Cares, the
philanthropic arm of Core Group Resources, announced today the
launch of its RISE Initiative. An innovative social responsibility
platform and officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, RISE focuses on providing job placement and career
support to the underemployed, vulnerable populations and those with
barriers to employment by partnering with employers in search of
top tier talent.
"At Core Group Resources, we believe in the power of second
chances," said Matt Fuhrman, CEO of
Core Group Resources. "We're focused on empowering men and women
with tools, coaching and prospects to provide the support needed to
re-enter our communities. This initiative is about enabling
connections, transforming lives and strengthening our
community."
Partnering with employers willing to provide fair-chance
employment opportunities, RISE connects individuals in the
Houston area with job
opportunities that offer livable wages. Utilizing the unique
staffing abilities, team, and technology of Core Group Resources,
RISE manages and tracks the impact of employment to showcase the
initiative's effectiveness and benefits.
The initiative supports both employer clients and job candidates
through comprehensive career coaching, job placement, tax credits,
subsidies, and skill development. By partnering with companies to
provide these vital opportunities, RISE is dedicated to making a
difference and empowering individuals to rebuild their lives. RISE
serves underemployed, vulnerable populations with barriers to
employment, such as formerly incarcerated, recovered addicts,
trafficking victims or veterans.
"Our mission is to bridge the gap between employers and at-risk
job seekers to alleviate labor shortages and address social
concerns through meaningful employment. By providing comprehensive
support and transparent tracking, we help ensure that both parties
benefit," said Jacob Sweeney,
Executive Director of the RISE Initiative. "This initiative is
driven by our conviction that all people have inherent dignity and
value – and a good job is a significant way to complement that.
Helping vulnerable people overcome employment obstacles and secure
a career while also assisting clients in meeting their personnel
and business needs is a win for our candidates, our clients, and
our community."
Core Group Cares is dedicated to giving back through
partnerships with organizations like Mission of Hope, Frontline,
WorkFaith, and Elijah Rising. These
efforts allow employees and their families to address food
shortages, global poverty, and support veterans. By combining its
staffing expertise with partners' knowledge and resources, the
organization aims to bridge the employment gap and create lasting
careers for individuals at risk.
