Historical Perspective

The River City Group is a privately held employment services firm dedicated to securing meaningful employment opportunities for historically disadvantaged adult populations.

Our identifying slogan, “Nontraditional Employment Solutions” is indicative of the philosophy we adhere to when articulating our message to area employers.  RCG was formed in 1995 by a team of dedicated employment professionals who saw an ongoing need for proactive intervention on behalf of individuals who were not trained to, or were not able advocate for themselves in today’s highly competitive job market.  It is our fundamental belief that the most effective mechanism for helping our clients to reach their potential is to give them the tools to advocate for themselves.  This philosophy is manifest in the RCG pre-employment training programs which address not only typical job seeking strategies like résumé development and interviewing techniques, but focus on more radical concepts like effective communication skills, building self-esteem, resolving conflict, and working in a team environment. 

The River City Group maintains working relationships with over 100 area employers, a variety of State and Federal agencies, non-profit trade organizations, and Social Security representatives.  Our job placement rate for nontraditional employees consistently exceeds 80% with a job retention rate in excess of 80%.  We have, and will continue to provide the cutting edge ideas and services that generate successful employment outcomes for our clients in a dynamic and highly competitive labor market.
