Undergraduate, graduate, continuing education, certificate, diploma, part-time and full-time students are all encouraged to apply.
The Level UP program (powered by Riipen) allows 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. Your company is not required to provide payment to students. Read more about the program here.
Submit a project here for our Level UP coordinators to review. Once approved, students will apply to your project directly - individually, or in teams. Students may be from any Canadian post-secondary institution, and in any academic program. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicants.
