In today's rapidly changing job market, employers are looking for more than just a degree on a resume; they're seeking candidates with real-world experience. 

That's where Riipen comes in. 

We've designed flexible programs that enable learners and employers to collaborate in practical, project-based settings. These programs are built to be adaptable so that students and companies can create mutually beneficial experiences, ultimately aligning academic learning with the demands of the modern job market. These hands-on experiences help bridge the gap between education and employment with meaningful projects that allow learners to grow their skills and tackle real-world challenges, all while contributing to workforce development.

What is the Level UP program?

Riipen’s Level UP program is a game-changer for employers seeking top-tier student talent. The program connects Canadian employers with students from top schools across the country, offering a chance to collaborate on short-term, remote projects. These projects are designed to be flexible, allowing students to contribute valuable insights and gain the practical experience they need to launch their careers, all while being compensated for their work.

The success of the Level UP program has shown us that flexible, project-based learning not only provides students with the experience they need but also delivers measurable value to employers. With the demand for skilled talent only growing, we’ve seen firsthand how work-integrated learning (WIL) can fill the gap between education and employment. That’s why we continue to push the needle with our new program and entry-level recruitment solution, Riipen FuturePath
