Our Proven Instructional Strategy

LEARN

Your employee studies a block of content via reading, watching a video or discussing with others

DO

Your employee will reflect on what they have learned while completing activities - participating in scenarios, simulations and discussions

GET FEEDBACK

Your employee will receive feedback based on their performance provided via text or video, or verbally from their peers and their trainer

Scenario-Based Learning

Realistic scenarios support active learning. Applying knowledge actively engages your employee, develops their problem-solving and decision-making skills which helps them transfer the skills they learned to the job.

Hands-On Activities

Hands-on activities are effective for skill development, allowing your employee to apply and master key skills needed for the job and providing them a safe environment to practice, identify performance errors, and correct them.

See What Our Partners Are Saying

RISE Up credentials give people who are looking for good jobs and economic stability the preparation and support they need. We hear from retailers that candidates who come to interviews holding a RISE Up credential are better prepared – and they’re performing better once hired.

Center for the Future of Arizona Director of Workforce Development Holly Kurtz

The online RISE Up curriculum was thorough yet easy to follow and for employee to understand. With a background in the retail industry, I was able to relate some real-life stories to the employee throughout the course, which helped reinforce what was in the curriculum.

Rio Salado College Instructor Dwight Montjar

We love the virtual RISE Up training. Many of our employee have very little employment history. The RISE Up Retail Industry Fundamentals online lessons and testing was perfect for employee during the pandemic. It provided employee with a credential to add to their resume and made them more employable.
