This is a placeholder experience where you can express your interest in participating in Advance Ontario by submitting a project match request. We are not accepting official match requests at this time. If your project is a good fit, we will reach out to request a match once the official experience is open.


Advance Ontario connects eligible Ontario post-secondary students with remote, interdisciplinary projects to build in-demand skills. Ontario employers mentor students through paid 60-hour projects over 2-8 weeks. Powered by Riipen, the program promotes workforce diversity and aims to create lasting job opportunities while boosting Ontario’s economy.


Employers: 

  • Employers can submit one project for consideration. When developing your project, keep in mind that you can hire up to four students.
  • If you’re interested in participating in an upcoming Advance Ontario cohort, submit your project match request here.


By submitting a request, you will be one of the first to be notified when a new Advance Ontario experience becomes available. At that time, we will reach out and request to match with your project.


Note: No students will be added to this placeholder experience.
