Learner goals and capabilities

Important for students: To qualify for Level UP funding, please confirm your eligibility by completing a short 1-minute Level UP Eligibility Check. This step is mandatory for you to receive your $1,400 honorarium from Riipen.

The Level UP program (powered by Riipen) allows Canadian employers to bring on Canadian post-secondary students for 80-hour paid projects. Students are paid a $1400 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen; employers are not required to provide payment.

Submit a project here for our Level UP coordinators to review. Once approved, students will apply to your project directly - individually, or in teams. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicant(s). Most projects will be suitable if they can be completed remotely.
