FOR OUR CLIENTS & STAKEHOLDERS
RISE Services’ mission is to help individuals get hired in the right positions. We are there every step of the way to assist individuals in becoming as independent as they want to be. To accomplish our mission, we directly collaborate with employers, organizations, and state and local county governments to find an opportunity for talented job seekers. By having direct relationships with employers and employment organizations, we help employers onboard the right candidates who have great potential to fulfil their assigned duties.
Our goal is to build long-term relationships between our clients, employers, and RISE Services. We have experience with assisting clients in their dream jobs with various positions, including entry-level, professional, experienced, and even department heads.
To carry out our mission activities, we’ve trained staff that helps our clients with rehabilitation by implementing the following activities:-
- Carefully assess an individual’s skills, abilities, interests, educational level, and aptitude to determine realistic career options.
- Assist the individual to address any barriers they may have to employment so that when they get a job, they will be ready to work.
- Provide evaluation of an individual’s ability to perform specific jobs through job try-outs, also know as situational assessments.
- Conduct job search activities to identify available employment opportunities within the local labor market that closely match the individual’s skills, interests, and abilities.
- Assist individuals to obtain employment by supporting their efforts to complete job applications, interviews, and follow-up activities.
- Provide one-to-one on-the-job training in order to offer support to the individual and the employer and to ensure the job is done in the right way.
- Gradually fade away from on-site training activities as the individual and the consumer are comfortable with the employment arrangement.
- Provide continued follow-up on a monthly basis to ensure job retention.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
RISE Services serves a variety of populations across our organization. We strive to provide excellent, person-centered practices for individuals with intellectual, developmental, physical, substance abuse, traumatic brain injury, and mental health diagnoses.
Our core business hours for administrative staff are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. However, job coaches work with clients based on a client’s work schedule. Our services are rendered in the community at various work sites. The interdisciplinary team will determine service hours per week or month. We have some individuals who receive services once per day and others once per month, depending on their service. We do have two office locations: 800 Corporate Drive, Suite 301, Stafford, VA, and 150 Riverside Parkway, Suite 115, Fredericksburg, VA. Our Fredericksburg Office is strictly an administrative office. There are no job coaches or directors located here to assist you. We rent an office from a larger company, so these offices are designated for staff and small meetings.
We accept Virginia Medicaid Waiver (through the Department of Medical Assistance), the Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), the Department of Rehabilitation Services (DORS), public schools, community services boards, and private pay funding sources. Authorization is required before the start of services, for which RISE Services will work with your funding source to get approved.
We accept referrals from any funding source and private pay. Self-referrals are always welcome, and we will work with your funding source to try to get your services approved.

My Job Coach Heather helped me get the job of my dreams. I'm making money and still have my benefits because she helped me with that, too.
Client
It’s been great working with our student. Even in the short amount of time he’s been working with us, I can see his growth. He comes in and gets right to work. He tackles all of his assignments, is willing to learn new things, and has really been a great addition to our team. I’m glad we found each other.

My son Lance is 17 years old. Diagnosed with high-function autism, learning disabilities, and anxiety at age 13. When I was told that DORS could help find Lance a job he was comfortable with and could manage with the help of a job coach, I was yes, that sounds amazing! It truly has been amazing! Lance is working at Tropical Smoothie Cafe and is doing fantastic. He is doing the duties asked of him and making his own money. I can’t thank RISE Services enough for helping provide the job coaches who are there to help Lance on the job. I have to give a shout-out to Derrick White Lance‘s job coach. He is a very dedicated young man to giving these young adults the self-esteem and confidence to do more than they think they are capable of. I’m very thankful for services like RISE Services & DORS
