Through The ASCEND Collective, we are able to support our underserved communities through advocacy, mentorship, resources, and more. Often times, these three communities are overlooked and underemployed. The ASCEND Collective is working to change this.

Veterans ASCEND was created to help the military community, veterans and their spouses of all era’s and discharge status become employment ready through self-help resources, mentoring and community-based advocacy. The military community brings such unique talent, skills and experiences to any organization. Everyone deserves the opportunity for employment that values them as a person, appreciates their unique skills and abilities, and provides them a path to success.

Ability ASCEND was created to help our community with disabilities become employment ready through self-help resources, mentoring and community-based advocacy. This community brings such unique talents, skills, and experiences to any organization. Everyone deserves the opportunity for employment that values them as a person, appreciates their unique skills and abilities, and provides them a path to success.

Mission 2 ASCEND was created to help our community with justice involvement become employment ready through self-help resources, mentoring and community-based advocacy. This community brings a unique talents, skills, and perspectives to any organization. Everyone deserves the opportunity for employment that values them as a person, appreciates their unique skills and abilities, and provides them a path to success.

In collaboration with Talents ASCEND, we are excited to launch the TASBHR Development program - HR Priorities for Small Business. The 8-week virtual course is designed for businesses with less than 25 employees to help mitigate risks as they begin to hire and grow their teams. 40% of small businesses are fined an average of $845 per year for tax compliance issues. A non-existent or outdated employee handbook can lead to costly legal problems. Of those small employers surveyed by ADP, 17% percent said they had been subject to an internal complaint, agency complaint or investigation, or lawsuit in the past 3 years.

We've engaged eight highly regarded subject matter experts. Each week a different topic will be discussed with Q&A and an actionable takeaway that the business owner can immediately put to use in their business. Plus, access to the recordings for future use and additional resources such as templates and guides. Each business will get a 90-day membership with a recruiter on Talents ASCEND, networking with other business owners and career events to network with potential candidates as well.
