MacEwan University is working with Level UP, powered by Riipen! This unique initiative enables employers to engage Canadian post-secondary students for 80-hour paid projects. Students receive a $1,400 CAD stipend from Riipen upon successful project completion. Employers are not required to provide payment.Here’s how it works:Submit a project to this experience for our Level UP team to review. Once your project gets the green light, students (individually or in teams) will apply directly. They might come from various Canadian post-secondary institutions and academic programs. Craft a project description that’s skill-specific to attract the best-fit applicants.Important pointsProject deliverables will differ based on scope, but a comprehensive report or other assets should be produced by project completion, aiding your business goals. Regular communication with students enhances project outcomes. If confidentiality is key, consider having students sign an NDA using our agreements feature. They can still submit work on the platform by uploading redacted samples, using the worklog feature, and writing a brief project reflection. Our help articles in the Level UP knowledge centre can help you get started.
