About rising star

Rising Star partners with Texas Workforce Commission and local employers to provide these employment services. We receive our client’s directly from referrals provided by Texas Workforce Commission – Vocational Rehabilitation Services. Rising Star’s team consists of UNT wise certified Employment Specialists who come from diverse backgrounds and specialties. Employment specialists are trained to assist each client with their job search process each step of the way.
