Workforce and contractor training videos - RISE Up

What is the training program?

RISE Up is a safe and respectful workplace program designed for the construction industry that incorporates bystander intervention and harassment prevention training to ensure construction jobsites are safe and inclusive.

Why do I need it?

All workers have the right to a safe and respectful jobsite. To support this goal, PCEF requires that all workers and supervisors on PCEF-funded projects with construction-related improvements receive RISE Up training.

Workforce and contractor guidance

PCEF invests in workforce and business development and requires that workforce and contractor equity standards be met when implementing PCEF-funded climate projects. These equity standards apply to PCEF grantees (eligible nonprofit organizations) and their implementation partners in the private, public, and/or nonprofit sectors.
