Riipen launches Innovative Work-Integrated Learning program Level UP. Federal Government investment will support over 6,000 Canadian students, including students living in remote, rural communities and students from underrepresented communities.
One of the wonderful organizations Riipen has had the chance of working with is The Women’s Economic Council (WEC), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping Canadian women, especially marginalized women and those at risk of poverty, achieve their economic goals. Co-manager Serah Gazali and her team at WEC used Riipen to source student help on improving the organization’s website. The results of the project and ease of communication with talented students they were matched with amazed her. We had the opportunity to sit down with Serah to learn more about how the IT Graduate students at Capella University provided a comprehensive solution to making their organization’s website more accessible.
This week, we spoke with Bibi Bacchus, an Early Childhood Education (ECE) student at Mohawk College. Bibi found working on a teaching project with Abacus Uxbridge Inc. gave her valuable experience learning how to interact with children in a virtual setting.
