Overview
Details

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. Employers are not required to provide payment. 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.

Deliverables

While deliverables will vary depending on the project scope, at the conclusion of the project you should have a completed report or other assets that you can use to further your business goals. Maintaining communication with students throughout the project will lead to better results.

Project Examples

Projects should be approximately 80 hours in length, though our coordinators can work with you to resize the project as needed.

Suitable projects include:

  • Tax Return Preparation. Students can help you compile year-end files for annual return and tax return.
  • Set-Up Financial Processes. Students can help you develop a set of processes to organize the financial side of your business.
