How to Discover, Share, and Track Resources

Why does it matter?

Your team works tirelessly to help participants navigate their way through programs developing new skills and preparing to find better job opportunities to support themselves and their families. Once they are ready to start exploring opportunities to find employment, new skills, or overcome barriers - the real work starts.

Most Case Managers, Career Navigators, and Job Developers rely on spreadsheets and post-it notes for organizing job leads and sharing referrals by email and text. RiseKit makes it easier to organize, share, and track resource referrals to participants.

Discovering Resources

From the resources board choose the option for the type of resource needed.


Support Services: Opportunities or services in the community that will support a need or barrier a participant faces (i.e. food support, mental health care, transportation assistance, etc.)
Training Programs: A longer term job training program (i.e. a Microsoft certificate program, welding program, CNA program etc.)
Job Opportunities: Open job opportunities that have been curated by RiseKit or our employer partners specifically for your participants.
Event: A one time or short term session, (i.e. a job fair, pop up event, resume class, etc.)

To simplify the search, each resource type has the option for searching a keyword (like "resume", "customer service", "clothing") or to sort by most or least recently added, tuition cost, salary. Each individual resource type also has filtering options.
To help narrow down the resources you will see, your filters are automatically set to show resources within 15 miles of your organization. If you would like to see ALL resources, regardless of their location, click Reset
