Exciting things are happening all around the Metro, and we’re here to help you stay informed, connected, and inspired.
The Beloved Benefit is a heart-and-soul stirring annual experience that brings people together—from every neighborhood and community in Atlanta—to strengthen our city. This extraordinary evening aims to raise awareness, funds and encourage action around key issues facing our city and this year's Beloved Benefit focused on creating healthier, more equitable and vibrant communities throughout Atlanta. The event was the epitome of the phrase "party with a purpose" and brought nonprofit organizations, civic partners, business leaders and community members together to celebrate exemplary nonprofits, all of whom place community development at the core of their missions. And did we mention that Maroon 5 and Usher performed as well? CareerRise is truly grateful and honored to be one of the eight Beneficiaries for the 2022 Beloved Benefit, where it was announced that $6,269,978 was raised! Thank you to the Beloved Community, all of the donors, corporate sponsors, community advocates and other supporters who are committed to improving economic mobility in Atlanta.

Summit Recap
In July 2022, CareerRise awarded approximately $400,000 to five organizations to support dedicated workforce training and employment services at Westside Works. This year’s grant recipients will spearhead meaningful work focused on improving economic mobility by moving individuals towards sustainable wage careers in high-growth industry sectors. With profound excitement, Westside Works powered by CareerRise is excited to welcome The Training Expo, Per Scholas-Atlanta, Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency (ACSS), TechBridge, and Construction Ready as our fiscal year 2023 workforce partners.
In June, CareerRise hosted over 50 employers, educators, and workforce development professionals to learn about CareerReady ATL and the many benefits of youth-focused apprenticeship. Managed by the United Way of Greater Atlanta, CareerReady ATL is a youth apprenticeship system that develops new pathways to economic well-being for local youth while simultaneously creating diverse talent pipelines for Georgia’s most in-demand industries. Guests who attended the event had the opportunity to hear from apprenticeship experts and intermediaries who have leveraged apprenticeship training models and created youth-focused career pathways across the state of Georgia. Guest speakers included Anthem, the German American Chamber of Commerce (GACC South), Goodwill of North Georgia, Three Rivers Regional Commission, and the Mechanical Trades Institute. In partnership with CareerReady ATL, it is the goal of CareerRise to match employers from in-demand industries with relevant, high-quality training providers and community organizations for essential programmatic support.
