Rooted Impact Consulting LLC is proud to support and share Rooted Impact Foundation’s Rooted & Ready: Workforce, Wellness & Digital Empowerment cohort.

Rooted & Ready is a nine-month workforce-development experience operating from October 2026 through June 2027. Participants will gather monthly for focused learning, personal development, career preparation and meaningful connection.

The cohort is designed for adults who are unemployed, underemployed or seeking career advancement and are prepared to commit to consistent participation and accountability.

Through workforce preparation, digital-skills development, wellness support, career guidance and access to community professionals, participants will gain tools and relationships that can support lasting economic mobility.

Rooted & Ready is about more than preparing a résumé. It is about building confidence, expanding networks and helping participants prepare to go get the job.
