Twin Cities R!SE has provided comprehensive workforce development to under and unemployed individuals since 1993. Our mission is to transform the lives of those impacted by racial or socio-economic barriers through Personal Empowerment, career training, and meaningful employment. We envision a community where all individuals, especially people of color, have attained financial independence through employment success.
Twin Cities R!SE began in 1993 – our founder, Steve Rothschild, former executive Vice President at General Mills, was motivated to find a solution to the poverty experienced by many people of color in the Twin Cities. Using a market-driven approach, he sought to assist individuals in finding stable and well-paying employment.
Our 8-week career training programs provide individuals with the skills needed to be successful on any job. Our trainings focus on your individual development, Personal Empowerment, Career Training, and the 21st Century Skills that today’s employers are in search of. Graduates of this program typically double or triple their annual income.
At Twin Cities R!SE, we welcome individuals from all walks of life and work with them to overcome their employment barriers. Our dedicated career coaches collaborate with each person to create personalized plans and set achievable goals, empowering them to remove obstacles and achieve meaningful employment. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent with no work history or education, or someone with an extensive criminal record, and everyone in between, Twin Cities R!SE can help you break through barriers and reach your full potential.
Twin Cities R!SE collaborates with companies to identify the ideal TCR participant for available positions. Our coordinators utilize specialized interview methods and assessments to select candidates who meet your specific requirements and deliver high-quality service.

Our Empowerment Institute was selected as one of the 12 premier partners that Six Seconds highlights each year, which is a true testament to the Empowerment Institute’s work and partnership.
Twin Cities R!SE has been providing career training services to disadvantaged individuals for over 30 years. They quickly realized that to be successful in its mission, they needed to provide more than just skill-building and job placement opportunities; they had to address the underlying emotional challenges people faced and support them in unlocking their potential, both personally and professionally.
