Prosperity Ready Information

Prosperity Ready exists to develop the vast potential of immigrants to help overcome our talent shortage crisis, and to enable organizations to reflect the communities in which they serve. Prosperity Ready is proudly sponsored by The Social Good Fund, a 501(c)3 full service fiscal sponsor. Our vision is to enable a prosperous community where individuals, families, and organizations reach their greatest potential and live to fulfill their purpose. Prosperity is far more than wealth. The word prosperity also means successful, flourishing, a thriving condition, ease, plenty, comfort, security, well-being, good fortune, happiness and health. The Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota region is facing a talent shortage crisis along with crippling turnover. By the year 2022 we are estimated to be short 250,000 workers. Turnover costs employers $15,000 per person for hourly employees. Lack of diversity and cultural awareness is the #1 reason professionals of color would leave the Greater Minneapolis St. Paul region. Founder and CEO Lisa Perez brings years of Human Resources leadership positions in a variety of industries from Fortune 500 companies to privately held organizations. We have re-engineered the immigrant employment life cycle, which enables us to build skilled, robust and reliable talent pipelines. Our subject matter experts work across the full continuum of the immigrant employment life cycle. We work with private and public partners to connect diverse, ready-now talent to best fit employers. We remove barriers that hinder successful employment by: matching skill sets and career interests to best fit jobs; remediating complex applicant tracking systems; partnering for creative transportation; determining the right mix of benefits; training new employees; managers and teams; and facilitating culture and change management. We serve all immigrants in the Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota region. Visit us at prosperityready.org to learn more!
