Our Vision for Impact
Transforming Lives Through Technology Careers
Our RISE program is designed to help participants transition from unemployment or underemployment to high-paying technology careers earning $35-50/hour. With guaranteed paid internships and comprehensive training, graduates will gain the skills and experience needed for sustainable, family-supporting employment.
Building Tomorrow's Workforce
Through our IGNITE program, we're creating pathways for young people ages 8-18 to discover technology careers early. Participants will build foundational skills, explore IT career options, and prepare for future opportunities in the tech industry.
Creating Economic Opportunity
Each RISE graduate is projected to see a $500,000+ increase in lifetime earnings compared to their pre-program trajectory. This transformation will not only change individual lives but strengthen entire communities across Arkansas.
