Riipen

About Us

Riipen is North America’s largest marketplace for experiential learning. Our online platform makes it easy for businesses and nonprofits to collaborate with students on short projects.  Students receive course credit and real-world experience while organizations receive quality deliverables, access to new talent and fresh insight from students. It’s a win-win and a great way to get some extra help during these busy times.

Riipen also runs a program called Level UP. Whether you are a solopreneur looking to accelerate your product launch, or a small business or startup with too many projects in the “to-do” list, Level UP helps you solve business challenges in the form of fully-subsidized, short-term internships with top student talent from across Canada. Funded by the Government of Canada, Level UP internships are 80-hour projects, completed over 2-8 weeks that can be completed fully online or hybrid. Upon completion, students are paid a $1400 stipend ($17.50/hour) directly by Riipen, eliminating the red tape of traditional wage subsidy programs.
