Learners are paid a $300 USD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen. Employers are not required to provide payment.
- Submit a project here for the AscentUP team to review.
- Once approved, you will be matched with a team of 5 participants.
- Projects can start from May, and must be completed between 3 and 6 weeks.
- Projects must be completed by August 31st.
If you have questions or need help drafting your project content please email us at ascentup@riipen.com. You can also find all of our help articles here.
Deliverables will vary depending on the project scope. At the conclusion of the project you will have assets that can be used to further your business goals, such as a completed report, digital marketing campaign, or database administration.
Given the short, remote nature of AscentUP we require a project-based experience. If your project looks like a job posting, we can not accept it. Please provide a concrete scope for the learner’s work and limit their work to a specific project.
If you choose to use a template from our library, ensure that you have added as much context for your business needs as possible. Our team will not accept any projects that were created from a template without sufficient customization. While learners will interact with you to complete the project, we want them to be able to understand the scope of the project by reading your project details.
Note: If participants are completing confidential work they can still submit work on the platform by uploading redacted samples, using the worklog feature, and writing a brief project reflection. In this case, we might also recommend that you have the participants sign an NDA before starting your project. You can use the Agreements feature to do this.
