Program Description

RISE Now is specifically designed for adult learning and developed based on the needs, skills, and goals of the learner. The RISE Now program pairs adult learners with a specialized and compassionate instructor to work towards their career, education, or life goals in the following areas:

  • Support for adults undertaking courses or training such as adult education, university courses, or pre-employment programs.
  • Explicit instruction to support foundational literacy (reading/writing) or math skills.
  • Entry or return to the workforce support (resume and cover letter development, interviewing, applications).
  • Executive functioning skills support and development.
  • Workplace accommodation support and planning.

The RISE Now sessions are scheduled weekly or twice weekly based on learner need and individual program goals, and program fees are offered on a sliding scale based on individual/household income.
