Vocational Evaluation
Evaluations are conducted in a community business in line with the person’s interests. Rise’s evaluator is able to assess a person’s general work skills and behaviors as well as the specific job skills and physical demands required for a particular type of work. This also helps an individual determine if work in this field is a good fit. People are paid minimum wage while undergoing the work assessment.
Current career fields available for a customized evaluation include:
- Retail
- Clerical / reception
- Production
- Data entry
- Food service
- Activities (child care, senior care)
- Janitorial
- Customer service
Businesses partnering with Rise to offer work assessments include:
- ARC's Value Village Thrift Store
- Broadway Pizza
- Pentair
- St. Anthony Health Center
- Walgreens
- TJ Maxx
- Arby's

Upon completion of the assessment period, Rise’s evaluation will produce a comprehensive evaluation report addressing key employment issues and offering recommendations for career planning.
