WRISE’s own Doseke Akporiaye and Constance Thompson had a wonderful time attending the ACORE Accelerate 5th Anniversary Evening Reception.

It was an inspiring night dedicated to reflecting on half a decade of progress in diversifying the renewable energy sector and fostering the next generation of leaders.

The WRISE Job Board isn't just a list of openings. It's where our community hires from within.

Job tip for job seekers: Before you apply anywhere, see whether the company has shown up for WRISE — sponsored an event, sent a team to the Leadership Forum, or partnered with our programs. That’s a signal. It shows how they think about women in this industry before you ever walk in the door.

Job tip for hiring managers: If you're posting on the WRISE Job Board, your candidates are mission-aligned, credentialed, and serious about clean energy. Don't give them a generic application experience. Match the quality of the talent you're attracting.

This is what community hiring looks like.
