How to Create and Edit a Job Opportunity

Why does it matter?

When it comes to supporting program participant’s, it’s safe to say their main goal is to find a job opportunity that will allow them to grow more financial stable. By utilizing RiseKit to share good opportunities, the amount of time it takes to accomplish this goal should be drastically reduced at scale. Job Opportunities are open positions that can be shared with participants through RiseKit. Job Opportunities do not include Support Services, Events, or Job Training Programs.

See How to Add an Event To Resources, How to Add a Training Program to Resources, or How to Create and Edit a Support Service as needed.
