ABOUT
TALENT RISE
Talent RISE is the charitable foundation of Talent, born out of our vision to change the lives of young people. We do this by leveraging our global client relationships to provide education, training and meaningful career opportunities to diverse young people who often face barriers to employment.
A job is not just a job. A job is food, clothes, safe housing, self-worth, friendships, security, purpose and a future.
The benefit is not just for the young person. Many of our clients have feedback on how transformative providing a young person with work experience has been for their teams. The sense of achievement and purpose is infectious and contributes to a more diverse and motivated company culture.
- 500+ Young people placed into employment
- 140 Businesses building their workforce and giving back
- $99.5k Funds raised to support young people on their journey into employment
- 2,176 Hours of coaching and support

The pupils from our school who are on the autism spectrum attended a CV writing workshop at Talent RISE. The pupils are usually a little apprehensive about external training really enjoyed the day and got so much from it. We look forward to working more with the RISE team to help more of our young people.
